Objectives of the Course
|
The main goal of this course is to get students gain important skills for analyzing and understanding the quantum world and also microscopic phenomena in the nature.
• Providing fundamental knowledge and skills to understand and analyze the wave nature of the matter and quantum phenomena.
• Constructing conceptual understanding of Schrödinger wave equations and applications and solving for different potentials, and also analyzing the quantum tunneling.
• Providing a deep insight to atomic structure and its quantum mechanical analysis.
• Understanding the properties of molecules and solids in microscopic level.

Course Methods and Techniques
|
The course will be accomplished through lecture, and recitation. In the lecture, the basic concepts of modern physics and the discussion of selected topics will be provided. Students will be encouraged to participate the lecture and discuss problems and concepts. During the recitation, students will work on challenging problems that are designed to build conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Additionally, students will be expected to produce both in-class quizzes and homework assignments if available. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.
