Overview

Define the basic hypotheses of quantum mechanics, enable the student to understand the wave function associated with the motion of the particle and develop his skills and abilities to interpret the Schrödinger equations and their applications and analyze the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Intended learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student should be able to:

1. Recognize the basics of quantum mechanics, analyze their hypotheses and employ them in physical applications.

2. Uses the wave function associated with the motion of the particle that satisfies the conditions of quantum mechanics.

3. Applies the Schrödinger equation to some physical phenomena.

4. Uses the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

5. Develops his skills in the use of modern technological tools.

6. Communicates with others to work as a team.

7. Writes reports and scientific articles.

Teaching and learning methods

Methods of assessments

The methods of evaluating students in this course are distributed as follows:

· Semester work (40 marks) is divided as follows:

· First written exam (objective questions and problem) (15 marks).

· Second written exam (objective questions and problem) (15 marks).

· Scientific activities (e.g. weekly tests, reports discussion) (10 marks) .

· Final: written exam (60 marks).
