This course aims to:• That the student recognize the possibility of applying quantum mechanics in explaining some phenomena that classical mechanics failed to explain, such as the phenomenon of black body radiation - the atomic spectrum of the hydrogen atom - the photoelectric effect.• Studying and knowing the theories of quantum mechanics and its applications.• Studying the Schrödinger equation in the case of a free-moving body, a moving particle inside a one-dimensional box, and a particle inside a three-dimensional box.
