Technological Applications Of Quantum Mechanics

Current offering — AY2026/2027 Semester 1

Quantum Mechanics is the foundation of many areas of physics and countless modern technologies. This course serves as an introduction to three main areas built on modern quantum mechanics: (1) atomic and molecular physics, (2) condensed matter physics and (3) nuclear physics. Students will be exposed to the basic concepts of each subject, supported by ample examples and applications. By the end of the course, students are expected to form a deeper understanding of both the theory of quantum mechanics and how it is connected to real life.
