The
master
branch contains the lecture notes that are published on my site. -
The branch
lecture-notes-<year>
contains the files with annotations made during the lectures in<year>

View these with the Markdown viewer of your choice, ideally one that is LaTeX-aware: I recommend Typora (you will need to turn on the options for Inline Math and Equation Numbering in the preferences panel).
-
Alternatively you could convert to PDF using pandoc.
-
Feel free to submit any issues with the notes!
-
Figures for Hugo follow the format:
{{< figure src="HOM.png" title="Four possible outcomes after the passage of two bosons through a beam splitter." numbered="true" lightbox="true" >}}
-
Figures for Typora use standard markdown
-
Internal references among lectures
-
LaTeX in figure captions for Hugo
-
Citations for Hugo
-
Make Typora template in the Academic style, allowing for sidenotes. Look into Tufte CSS
