COMPLETE EXAM-READY REVISION GUIDE FOR THEORETICAL PARTICLE PHYSICS (MASTER'S LEVEL) This is a self-contained, exam-focused compendium covering the entire standard Master's-level Theoretical Particle Physics curriculum: relativistic fields and the S-matrix, QED and amplitude computations, renormalization and the RG, non-abelian gauge theories (Yang-Mills, Faddeev-Popov, BRST), QCD and deep inelastic scattering, the Higgs mechanism, the full electroweak theory, flavour physics ...

A complete, exam-ready revision compendium for a graduate (Master's-level) Superconducting Qubits, built to be usable both as a learning tool and as a last-minute cram sheet before an oral or written exam. Structure (60 pages): Part 1 - 12 full chapters covering the entire standard curriculum: circuit quantization, the Cooper-pair box and transmon, single-qubit control and the rotating frame, circuit QED and dispersive readout, decoherence (T1/T2/sweet spots), noise spectroscopy and filt...

A comprehensive, self-contained revision guide for the module PH2080 "An Introduction to Theoretical Astrophysics," covering the entire syllabus: cosmic scales, gravitation and the virial theorem, characteristic timescales, stellar structure, the equation of state for stellar matter, radiative transfer, nuclear energy generation, stellar evolution and scaling relations, compact objects (white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes), hydrodynamics and shocks, accretion and the Eddington limit, ...

Comprehensive preparation package for the oral exam for module PH2080, "An Introduction to Theoretical Astrophysics" (TUM, examiner H.-T. Janka), designed using an exam-reverse-engineering approach rather than a simple compilation of lecture notes. The document reconstructs the typical structure of the 30-minute oral (opening, two in-depth topic threads, final summary), maps out topics by likelihood of appearance, and outlines the examiner's questioning habits (recurring follow-up qu...

A nicely written script from the lecture "Introduction to Quantum Computing" offered by Prof. Christian B. Mendl at TUM. It includes the following topics: Basic Concepts (quantum bits, single qubit gates, multiple qubits, multiple qubit gates, quantum measurement, Heisenberg uncertainty principle), Entanglement and its applications (quantum teleportation, EPR and Bell inequality), Quantum search algorithms (quantum oracles, Grover's algorithm, optimality of the search algorithm), The De...
