This is a series of lectures that will be given by three or four lecturers from the involved departments. Each of the lecturers will introduce one topic (over 3-4 weeks) relevant for all participating students. Possible topics are: Quantum cryptography, particle trapping, algorithmic complexity, or mathematical optimization.
