Quantum mechanics drove a technological revolution in the past century, its applications being now widespread in real life devices. This lecture introduces to the quantum principles which govern physics behaviors at nanoscales, specifically targeting master degree Engineering students. How does a quantum particle behave in a pipe? What is the quantum analogue of a classical spring? How does this relate to energy being quantized? The answers to these questions will help understand the principles which hide under the operation of diodes, transistors, LEDs and even photovoltaic cells.
Curriculum Vitae
Giancarlo Panizzo received a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Trieste in 2015. He was a Research Fellow at CERN in 2017, and in 2018 first a INFN research associate, and later a post-doc at the International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste. Starting from 2019 he is a researcher within the ATLAS group at the DPIA/UniuD. He is part of the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN since 2018. His current research topics focus on the Physics of the quarks Top and Bottom, using data collected at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Ginevra. He is also involved in feasibility studies for physics analyses at the Future Circular Collider, mainly concerning the Z boson.
