This course on integrable models will cover aspects of classical and
quantum integrable Hamiltonian systems. Examples for such systems are the
nonlinear Schroedinger, Korteweg-de Vries and Toda equation on the
classical side, or spin chains on the quantum side. Several methods to
solve nonlinear differential equations that display soliton behaviour
are introduced.
Prerequisites are Theory I - II, that is classical and quantum mechanics and electrodynamics. Although we will also discuss modern applications in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory these are not mandatory.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
