  In this course, students will learn to describe transport in nonequilibrium systems. Transport phenomena (electric current, heat transport, motion of fluids) are ubiquitous both in classical as well as in quantum physics. We will discuss the most important equations of classical transport theory (Boltzmann equation, Navier-Stokes equation). Regarding quantum systems, we will mostly focus on electronic transport for which we will use scattering theory and the theory of open quantum systems. The student will learn the basic techniques applicable to noninteracting systems (Landauer-B\u00fcttiker theory) and interacting systems (master equations, Born-Markov approximation).                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        A student who takes this course will become familiar with the most important transport phenomena, which are ubiquitous in both classical and quantum physics and engineering.

unifying umbrella, transforming the understanding of biophysics, statistical mechanics, and condensed matter theory. Quantum Information theory has emerged as a new field merging quantum physics, information theory, and computer science.<br>This course covers elements of information theory both in the classical and quantum levels. The first part introduces the elements of the classical theory, introducing various information measures and their relation to physics. The second part focuses on the quantum information science, including measurement theory, quantum metrology, quantum information processing, and quantum computation.<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Task 1: Written exam.<br>Task 2: Participation during CM and TD and working out assignments in TD.<br>Assessment rules: No electronic devices or lecture notes are allowed during the exam.<br>Assessment criteria:\u00a0 60% theory, 40% exercises<br>Retake exam offered<br>Retake exam rules : The retake exam will have the same format as the final exam.<br>No special conditions apply.

First, we will present the equivalence between Langevin equation, Fokker-Planck equation, and path probability to describe the time-evolution of a stochastic process. On this basis, we will establish the essential properties of equilibrium, including steady-state properties (Boltzmann distribution, equipartition theorem) and relaxation to steady state (linear response, fluctuation-dissipation theorem, Green-Kubo formulas). We will also discuss how the laws of thermodynamics extend to stochastic processes (stochastic thermodynamics, fluctuation theorems), with applications to colloidal engines. Then, we will introduce a specific class of nonequilibrium systems, which extract energy from their environment to sustain an individual directed motion, known as *active matter*. We will discuss the consequences of self-propulsion in specific examples. For many-body systems, we will show that it can lead to collective effects without any equilibrium equivalent, which will be rationalized based on coarse-grained hydrodynamic equations.

  We understand Data Mining (Knowledge Discovery) as a life-cylce process from\u00a0 data to information and insights. In times of Big data, Data Mining has become a central interest both for industry and academia. In this course, we discuss several data-related aspects like preprocessing or pricacy as well as selected aspects of Machine Learning. An expansive definition of Data Mining, which is the derivation of insights from masses of data by studying and understanding the structure of the constituent data, and selected applications complete the course.<br>                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        * Explain the fundamental concepts of data mining and knowledge discovery<br>* List the properties of data relevant for deriving interesting and useful information\/observation from that.<br>* Explain machine learning algorithms and strategies to deploy the discovered results<br>* Argue the importance of domain knowledge during the data analysis with its scope and limitations<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        * Definition and Process. <br>* Data Mining, Data Science, and the Big Data Hype.<br>* Data Quality and Preprocessing<br>* Data Privacy and Security.<br>* Data and Information Visualization.<br>* Machine Learning for Clustering, Classification, Association Discovery, Sequential Pattern Analysis, and\/or Time Series Analysis.<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        60% oral or written examination; 40% midterm tests                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>Selected references:<br><\/p><br><p>* M.
