About this course
An introduction to foundations, mathematical formalism and applications of quantum physics is presented. The origin of quantum theory---the Plank's law for the black-body radiation, the photoelectric and Compton effects and the wave-particle duality---is discussed. The principle of superposition and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle are formulated. The probability interpretation of the quantum mechanical wave function is given. The Schrodinger equation is studied and applied to simple systems. Quantization of orbital and spin angular momentum is presented. The Pauli exclusion principle is formulated. The hydrogen atom is treated. Applications to multielectron atoms and solids are discussed. Basics of linear operators, matrices and vector spaces are introduced.
