PHYS6810: Quantum Mechanics

Credits 3

This course introduces students to quantum mechanics concepts, which are not only becoming increasingly important in research of basic science, but also are rapidly becoming an essential part of electronics, photonics, and materials engineering. This course begins the student’s journey into QM by teaching the basic math and physics principles of quantum theory, and then exploring the engineering and design of quantum system applications. For example, flash memory, quantum dots, quantum transistors, and quantum computers are current systems that revolve on a basic understanding of QM.
