Quantum Physics I

 7.5 ECTS credits
Quantum physics is the most important development in physics during the 20th century. Many technical applications in modern information technology and telecommunications are based on quantum physical phenomena. The course is a first basic course in quantum physics.
It introduces the concepts and theoretical tools that are needed for the description of quantum systems. Based on the wave function and the Schr枚dinger equation the statistical interpretation and the fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics are systematically developed. Some important applications, such as the harmonic oscillator and the hydrogen atom, are studied in detail. More complicated systems will be studied in the courses Quantum Physics II and Solid State Physics.
