Course contents

The course begins by giving the development of quantum mechanics, focusing on Planck, Einstein, and Bohr's theories.

Central concepts, principles, and phenomenas:

  • Bohr's quantized model of the atom.

  • Heisenberg's uncertainty relation.

  • Schroedinger's equation for different potentials.

  • Quantum tunneling.

  • Electron spin.

  • Pauli's exclusion principle.

 

 

Learning outcomes
