Quantum Mechanics 1 (F3239)
15 credits, Level 5
Spring teaching
Quantum mechanics describes the often unintuitive behaviour of the very small such as electrons and photons.This fundamental theory in physics is at the core of modern technology and helps explain how transistors work.
In this module, you'll gain an understanding of the basic characteristics of quantum systems using differential and integral calculus. This includes:
- familiarising yourself with the Schroedinger equation and perturbation theory
- learning how to apply it to relevant systems.
