tl;dr 1: Jupyter notebooks for each of the (numbered) projects below are available in the accompanying folder.
tl;dr 2: A YouTube playlist where each student group explains their work is available here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBAf4P2YTnSULzOzvY8HyC1Y8Miilz_rT
-
Project topics have been decided by the instructor keeping the match with our course content in mind. No changes are permitted in the project topics as of now.
-
Total strength is 72, so we will have 13 groups of 5 people each and 1 group of 7 people.
Requirements:
- A 1 hour long pre-recorded presentation by each team, which should be made available to the entire class on microsoft teams before your live presentation date
- A 10 minute shorter live presentation during the class:
- Giving a broader picture of the work
- Explaining the specific calculations/plots you reproduced
- Live iPython notebook demo reproducing the plots
- In lieu of a traditional project report, an executable paper (iPython notebook is strongly encouraged) reproducing the calculations/plots/derivations needs to be supplied to the instructor for evaluation
- In both the presentations as well as the executable paper, details of the contributions of individual group members to the project should be clearly spelt out.
- Evaluation is based on the following criteria:
- Understanding of the topic: breadth and depth (eg. via reading cross-references)
- Quality of presentation (eg. motivation, breaking down the problem, conclusion)
- Reproducing parts of the paper (i.e. your executable paper (iPython notebook) demo) -- this component has the highest weightage
* means that some prior exposure to quantum optics will help in the project
