Class flow
Occasionally, students are requested to answer some fundamental questions given in lectures. Also, there is some possibility to be requested for precipitating group discussions.
Course schedule/Objectives
| Course schedule | Objectives | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Seven lectures will be given by researchers in the School of Science, who are conducting advanced researches relating to quantum science in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and earth and planetary sciences, to give fundamentals, case studies, and future prospects in quantum innovation developed in their own research fields. Detailed course plan will be informed separately at the beginning of the fall semester. | Explain how the quantum innovation has been and/or will be related to researches in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and earth and planetary sciences. |
