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.

Main themes

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.
