“Quantum Mechanics in Nanoscience and Engineering”- Prof. Uri Peskin

The book goes from basic quantum mechanics to phenomena and processes in the “real world” (Thermal, wet, dense etc). The book covers most of the topics in elementary courses of introduction to QM and quantum chemistry, as well as some advanced topics (e.g., open quantum systems, charge and energy transport, etc) The pedagogical attitude formulates much of the technical steps as questions/guided exercises. Just reading these exercises already gives a flavor of the underlying proofs, for “easy” reading. More rigorous students would probably want to actively solve the exercises or follow the

Ofer Neufeld: "Research in the newly established ultrafast quantum dynamics theory group: Towards attosecond magnetism from first-principles"

In this talk I’ll first introduce our newly established computational group at the Technion, and our goal of combining ab-initio and model simulations of quantum systems interacting with intense ultrashort laser pulses (driven far-from-equilibrium) to explore fundamental physics.

Ron Tenne: "A “quick” look at the electronic dynamics in individual nanocrystals "

Abstract: Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) offer a tunable and technology-compatible platform for quantum light-matter interactions and the inspiring technology that comes along with it. However, understanding the dynamics of electronic excitation is tremendously challenging.
