BCK0103-15 Quantum physics (3-0-4) General goals: The main goal of this course is to present to the student the main concepts of the quantum theory, with the perspective of comprehending the basic phenomena which originate at the atomic scale, their effects and technological applications. Specific goals: After taking this course the student will have acquired the knowledge, intuition and mathematical skills to solve problems involving: 1. Black-body radiation, photoelectric effect and Compton scattering. 2. Atomic models and energy levels based on the quantum theory. 3. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. 4. Wave-particle duality. 5. Schrödinger’s equation. 6. Solution of Schrödinger’s equation for simple potentials and their consequences. 7. Solution of Schrödinger’s equation for the hydrogen atom. 8. Quantum numbers and energy levels of the atomic structure. Spin, the Pauli exclusion principle and selection rules. Syllabus: Experimental bases of quantum mechanics. Quantization of energy and angular momentum. The Bohr model and the hydrogen atom. Wave-particle duality. Heisenberg’s uncertainty princple.
