Quantum physics is a theory that makes it possible to describe the behavior of matter on an atomic scale and to understand the nature of electromagnetic radiation. It is today an essential element for all those who want to understand contemporary physics. Many technological advances have been made possible thanks to this theory, such as laser emission, medical imaging or even nanotechnologies.
Whether you are an engineer, researcher, student or enlightened amateur thirsty for an understanding of the modern scientific world, quantum physics is today part of the knowledge essential to your scientific culture. This course is an introduction to quantum physics. It will allow you to master the key elements of this theory, such as the wave function and the famous Schrödinger equation.
In this course, you will be introduced to quantum physics on a theoretical level while keeping a close link with experiments. This will allow you to understand the reality behind the equations and the mathematical formalism. At the end of this course, you will therefore be able to master the basic concepts, both from a theoretical point of view and from an experimental point of view, as well as to appropriate the mathematical formalism. You will also learn to solve simple problems, which you can reuse in other scientific contexts.
