Course description and aims
Quantum mechanics is one of the typical thoughts of modern physics, and students will learn how physics is constructed. They will also understand the structure of the hydrogen atom from the point of view of quantum mechanics.
Students will learn the basic thoughts of quantum mechanics, its concepts, fundamental equations, methods of solving typical problems, and simple applications. Each class will consist of two periods of lectures and two periods of exercises.
Student learning outcomes
This course covers quantum mechanics for students of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences.
By the end of this course, students will be able to understand the basic concepts of quantum mechanics.
Keywords
Schrodinger equation, harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom
