Quantum Information (Fall 2023)
This course was taught by Prof. Myungshik Kim. My notes were based on his lecture notes and the textbook by Nielsen and Chuang. The topics covered include quantum gates, quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, and quantum entanglement.
Study Notes: Quantum Information
Quantum Optics (Fall 2023)
This course was taught by Prof. Florian Mintert and Prof. Michael Vanner. My notes were based on their lecture materials, covering topics such as atom-field interactions, coherent state and squeezed state, quantum detection, etc. Special thanks to Hao Chen, a PhD candidate at Princeton University, for insightful discussions. We are currently coauthoring an extended note on quantum optics, enriched with additional essential topics to provide a more comprehensive understanding and enhance the overall learning experience.

Advanced Classical Mechanics (Fall 2023)
Study Note: Advanced Classical Mechanics
Quantum Theory of Matter (Spring 2024)
Study Note: Quantum Theory of Matter
Laser Technology (Spring 2024)
This course covers two main topics: Laser Device Technology and Nonlinear Optics. I am not particularly interested in the first topic, as it focuses primarily on conceptual understanding and requires memorizing numerous concepts for exams, rather than employing rigorous mathematical derivations to prove or explore the principles in depth.
Study Note: Laser Device Technology
Study Note: Nonlinear Optics

Mathematical Methods in Physics (Fall 2019)
This course was divided into two parts: Complex Analysis, taught by Prof. Cheng-Gang Shao, and Equations of Mathematical Physics, taught by Prof. Yong Hu.
Study Notes: Complex Analysis
Review Notes: Equations of Mathematical Physics
Theoretical Mechanics (Fall 2019)
Taught by Prof. Sheng-You Huang, covering Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics, with several applications including central force motion, rigid bodies, and small oscillations. Notably, these were my first notes written in English.
Study Notes: Theoretical Mechanics
Electromagnetics (Fall 2019)
Taught by Prof. Xue-Wen Chen, covering electrostatics, magnetostatics, and Maxwell's equations.
Review Notes: Electromagnetics
Optics (Spring 2020)
This term was unique due to COVID-19, as we had to attend lectures online from home. The course was taught by Prof. Lu-Shuai Cao and Prof. Ze-Huang Lu. My notes were selected as exemplary for the course and shared with classmates. Due to the large file size, the notes have been divided into four parts.
Study Notes: Optics - Part 1
Study Notes: Optics - Part 2
Study Notes: Optics - Part 3
Study Notes: Optics - Part 4
Analogue Electronics (Spring 2020)
Taught by Prof. Tian-Ping Deng, based on lecture online, MOOC and textbook.
Study Notes: Analogue Electronics - Part 1
Study Notes: Analogue Electronics - Part 2
Study Notes: Analogue Electronics - Part 3
Study Notes: Analogue Electronics - Part 4
Quantum Mechanics (Fall 2020)
This course was taught by Prof. Ying Wu and Prof. Jia-Hua Li. However, it overlapped with another advanced course I had selected, so I decided to learn independently. My studies were based on Griffiths' Introduction to Quantum Mechanics and the online course from MIT OCW.
Study Notes: Quantum Mechanics
Review Notes: Quantum Mechanics
Electrodynamics (Fall 2020)
Taught by Prof. Zhao-Feng Kang.
Review Notes: Electrodynamics
Advanced Quantum Mechanics (Fall 2020)

Study Notes: Digital Electronics - Part 2
Study Notes: Digital Electronics - Part 3
Study Notes: Digital Electronics - Part 4
Study Notes: Digital Electronics - Part 5
Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics (Spring 2021)
This course, taught by Prof. Shun Wang, was quite challenging. It was conducted entirely in English, including the coursework and exams. Each week, we were required to read research papers, answer related questions, and at the end of the term, we wrote a small essay. Additionally, I worked on a small project focused on the Ising Model. My study notes are primarily based on the textbook by David Tong.
