Quantum mechanics
Om utbildningen
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.
This course is open to
Exchange students at the Faculty of Science and exchange students on a university-wide agreement. Please contact your international coordinator at the University of Gothenburg if you need to know more.
In order to apply for this course you must have successfully completed
a Bachelors degree in Physics or equivalent.
