MIT MAS.862: The Physics of Information Technology

Have you ever wondered how:
atoms tell time?
antennas form beams?
metamaterials cloak?
errors depend on power?
information is measured?
semiconductors switch?
magnets levitate?
spins are imaged?
quantum states are teleported?
computers can operate reversibly? adiabatically? stochastically?

MAS.862 will provide answers to these and many other questions, through a survey of the theoretical foundations and device mechanisms used in information technologies.
