Course description
This course deals with the basic ideas, rough history of quantum mechanics. This course also deals with the basic derivation of Schrödinger equations.
Purpose of class
You are expected to acquire the basic understanding of quantum mechanics, and the difference between quantum mechanics and classical physics, through the history of physics.
Goals and objectives
  1. Be able to explain the basic ideas of Planck's quantum hypothesis.
  2. Be able to explain the basic ideas of Einstein’s light-quantum hypothesis, Bohr's quantum hypothesis.
  3. Be able to explain the basic ideas of the electron wave-particle duality, and the wave function of an electron wave.
  4. Be able to explain the basic derivation of time-dependent and time-independent Schrödinger equations.
  5. Be able to explain the basic ideas of uncertainty principle, and the basic derivation of Schrödinger equation of a free particle inside a box.
