Physics I : Quantum Physics@
MH11ES.PH1
Written exam
This course introduces the concepts, postulates and tools of quantum mechanics, focusing on those essential to the interpretation of atomic and molecular properties. It does not aim at covering the whole field of quantum physics but at sticking to the essential points for applications in chemistry and materials science. It is also intended to provide a solid foundation for further teaching and development.
The student must be able:
– to explain the conceptual differences between classical and quantum physics,
– to understand and know how to use the mathematical formalism of quantum physics,
– to apply the postulates of quantum physics in a physics or chemistry problem,
– define the characteristics and properties of the model systems,
– to reduce a complex system to a model system through approximations.
