SCENE 1
-The classroom hours will be taught according to the official Master's calendar, which will explain, by using different audiovisual media, the contents of the subject, exercises and illustrative and/or explanatory problems of said contents will be made or introduced.
-The students will receive a material (in general, in electronic format) that covers both the development of the theoretical contents and the statements of exercises and problems, as well as the description of more experimental aspects about the systems studied.
-Virtual Campus of the USC will be use in order to provide general and specific information on the subject, locate teaching materials, propose activities, etc.
SCENE 2 (Contingency Plan in Comments Section)
Changes in the type of teaching are not expected if the traditional enrollment numbers are maintained. If the distance measures did not allow all the students of the subject to attend the face-to-face classes in the assigned classroom and there was not a larger teaching space to accommodate all the students, then some of the following measures would apply:
-Stream broadcast of the classes for part of the students who would follow them from another teaching space of the faculty. Attendance shifts would be established for all students to follow classes under the same conditions.
-Stream broadcast of the classes for a part of the students who would follow them from home. Attendance shifts would be established for all students to follow classes under the same conditions.
Priority will be given to face-to-face in the assessment tests. If, due to an inevitable turnover of students, the assessment tests consume an unbearable number of hours, the corresponding teaching will be done electronically.
The tutorials can be face-to-face or telematic and will require an appointment.
SCENE 3 (Contingency Plan in Comments Section)
The teaching will be telematic and the classes will take place synchronously in the official class schedule. It is possible that, for unsuccessful reasons, some of the classes are held asynchronously, which will be communicated to students in advance.
The tutorials will be telematic and will require an appointment.
SCENE 1
-The assessment of the subject will consist basically of a continuous evaluation taking into account that:
.It is obligatory to attend the expository and interactive classes and perform the exercises proposed in them.
.Specific tasks will be proposed where the student will put into practice the methods and techniques learned in some specific aspects of the course.
.The possibility of taking an exam will be exceptional if one of the above criteria is not fulfilled and it is necessary to evaluate if the student has acquired the competences of the subject.
-Activities to evaluate and their weight in the global note:
.Assistance to classes and completion of the exercises: 60%.
.Presentation of specific works and/or projects: 40%.
SCENE 2 and 3 (Contingency Plan in Comments Section)
Activities will be carried out to apprehend and practice the contents of the subject by means of proposal, delivery and correction of tasks in the Virtual Campus. The evaluation system does not change with respect to scene 1. Attendance will be verified electronically, connecting to the Teams institutional platform.
SCENE 1
3 ECTS distributed as follows
Hours with attendance:
-Lecture and Interactive hours: 30
Hours without attendance (45 hours) dedicated to:
-Study about theoretical content (conceptual and formal ones)
-Realization of Exercises / activities
-Reworking Exercises / activities
SCENE 2 and 3
Considering telematic teaching hours as "face-to-face" hours, the distribution of hours does not change.
SCENE 1
-It is recommended, although it is not essential, that the student has or acquires knowledge of Quantum Physics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Solid State.
-It is recommended to read the class notes every day and detect the doubts to be raised in the classroom or in the tutorials.
-It is recommended to do (and even redo) the exercises, problems and activities proposed with constancy.

Without changes
3) Basic and complementary bibliography
Without changes
4) Competences
Without changes
5) Teaching methodology
SCENE 2
Changes in the type of teaching are not expected if the traditional enrollment parameters are maintained. If the distance measures did not allow all the students of the subject to attend the face-to-face classes in the assigned classroom and there was not a larger teaching space to accommodate all the students, then some of these measures would be arbitrated:
-Retransmission of the classes to part of the students who would follow them from another teaching space of the Faculty. Shifts would be established for all students to follow classes under the same conditions.
-Retransmission of classes to part of the students who would follow them from home. Shifts would be established for all students to follow classes under the same conditions.
Attendance will be prioritized in assessment tests. If, due to an inevitable turnover of students, the assessment tests consume an excessive amount of hours, the corresponding teaching will be delivered electronically.
The tutorials can be face-to-face or online, which will require an appointment.
SCENE 3
The teaching will be telematic and the classes will be held synchronously in the official class time. It is possible that, for various reasons, some of the classes are held asynchronously, which will be communicated to students in advance.
The tutorials will be online and will require an appointment.
6) Learning assessment system
SCENES 2 and 3
-Activities will be carried out to apprehend and practice the contents of the subject through proposal, delivery and correction of tasks in the Virtual Campus. The evaluation system does not change as planned. Attendance is verified electronically by connecting to the Teams platform.

Without changes
8) Recommendations for the study of the subject.
