| OPTICS AND QUANTUM ELECTRONICS
(objectives)
- to make the student familiar with the principal experimental results who led to the reformulation of physics needed in order for atomic phenomena to be adequately described;
- to introduce students to the concept wave function and to Schroedinger's equation;
- to provide those mathematical tools needed to solve some problems concerning simple quantum systems (potential well, harmonic oscillator);
- to provide a quantum interpretation about the behaviour of some complex systems (like for instance
hydrogen-like atoms, spin, field quantization, band theory, effective mass)
