Quantum mechanics
About
In this course you will learn more about nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The power of quantum mechanics is used to describe microscopic phenomena and at introducing the students to contemporary applications.
The course will start with a brief review of the foundations of quantum mechanics and will then continue with powerful techniques to study the behavior of single-particle or few particle quantum systems. The course will gradually move towards more complex systems, eventually leading to second quantization and a description of spontaneous and stimulated emission of light. These concepts will be illustrated by examples from modern technology, including a guest lecture on quantum information and quantum computing.
