Content 

• Internal structure of simple atoms 
• Interactions with light fields 
• Complex atoms 
• Molecular structure 
• Atomic collisions 
• Special topics on quantum information, precision measurements, atomic clocks 

Exercise Sheets 

• The problems of the tutorial of the week n are based on the lecture of the week n-1.
• The sheet will be put up on Wednesday afternoon of the week n-1.
• You have to solve it and put up your solution on the uebungen website before Tuesday 23:59 of the week n.
• You can work in group but we ask you to upload your own handwritten solution as a single pdf-file.
• There will be 12 sheet, each valued 10 points.
• To participate in the final exam you need to have collected at least 80 points among the 120 (2/3).
• Points are given for logical line of thought - you do not need to give back the corrected sheet.
• The solution of the exercise sheets will be published but only in the week after the tutorials have happened. 

Exam

• Written, 2 hours 
• During the exam week between 02.02.26-06.02.26 - exact date will be announced later
