Learning goals
Knowledge
The failure of classical physics (black spot, photoelectric effect, Compton effect, Stern-Gerlach experiment, Bohr's atom model, matter waves)
Quantum behaviour (experiments with spheres, waves and electrons; basic principles of quantum mechanics; principle of indeterminacy; laws of combination of amplitudes; identical particles)
Schrödinger equation (development of the wave equation; stationary, time-dependent)
simple potential problems (infinitely deep potential pot, finitely deep potential pot, potential stage, potential barrier, harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom)
Basic principles of quantum computers and quantum cryptography
Skills
Description of given physical problems mathematically by listing the Schrödinger equation and applying of methods to solve the differential equations (separation approaches, limit value considerations)
To evaluate physical solutions and select them by analogy
Analyzing quantum effects and transferring them to technical applications
