Dear MSPQC students:

I will be teaching Physics 551, Solid State Physics, in the coming spring semester. We will cover semiconductors and superconductors, with applications to qubits. I'd urge you all to consider taking this course, since it has a direct bearing on quantum computing.

The text will be Kittel's Introduction to Solid State Physics. I'll get a complete syllabus up soon.

Best wishes for the holidays,

Bob J
