Quantum mechanics [ LPHY1222 ]

5.0 crédits ECTS 45.0 h + 30.0 h 2q

Teacher(s)	Maltoni Fabio ; Bricmont Jean ;
Language	English
Place of the course	Louvain-la-Neuve
Main themes	The course is divided in two concurrent parts: Part 1. Quantum Physics (30h) (2 lectures per week) Part 2. Mathematical tools for Quantum Mechanics (15h) (1 lecture per week) Part 1: - Discovery and observation of quantum phenomena in the microscopic world - The notion of a probability amplitude - Linear superposition and the Heisenberg principle - The Schrödinger equation - Examples of Solutions - The tunnel effect - Physical applications - The Stern-Gerlach experiment - Quantization of angular momentum. Part 2: - Fourier Series - Fourier Transforms - Hilbert Spaces
Aims	As a complement to the courses PHYS 1111, PHYS 1112 and PHYS 1211 which establish the bases of classical mechanics, special relativity, electromagnetism and wave physics, the aim is to expose the student to the conceptual and physical bases of the quantum description of the microscopic world.
Other information	Prerequisites - Algebra and Analysis courses of BAC 1 - PHYS 1211
