Quantum Physics

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    introducing the new concepts of physics that were established in the 20th century. These principles include energy-mass equivalence and particle-wave duality. The description of those principles is presented in the special relativity theory and Schrodinger equation. By the end of the course, the student should have a good idea about the basics of solid state materials, specially semiconductors.
