Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

Basic Information

F006 (3+2+0) - 6 ECTS credits

Connect the historical development of quantum mechanics with previous knowledge and learn the basic properties of quantum world. Students will develop understanding and relating the events which led toward the development of quantum mechanics, understanding the basic principles of wave mechanics, ability to solve simple problems exactly, relating the knowledge of mathematics to the formalism of quantum mechanics and adapting the gained knowledge to high school generations.
