Build a strong foundation and knowledge in quantum mechanics and quantum physics, while developing a passion for science through this course.
Explore how quantum mechanics uses abstract wave functions to describe atoms, subatomic particles, and molecules, and how squaring amplitudes yields the probability of locating electrons.
Learn the basics of quantum mechanics, including wave functions and probability, quantum tunneling through barriers, and energy quantization of electrons in atomic orbitals.
Planck's quantum theory quantizes energy into quanta and introduces Planck's constant H, linking energy to frequency and photons, and addressing the ultraviolet catastrophe.
Explore the photoelectric effect, define the work function, and show how photons with sufficient quantum energy eject electrons, with kinetic energy set by photon frequency via Einstein’s equation.
The Bohr atom model shows a nucleus with protons and neutrons and electrons in discrete orbits; photons enable transitions between orbits, with a 2n^2 electron limit.
Explain the Schrödinger equation as a differential equation that governs the time evolution of the wave function via the Hamiltonian, revealing energy levels for bound and free particles.
Explore quantum electrodynamics: electron attraction via electrostatics, repulsion via discrete photon exchange, electron-positron annihilation into a photon, and photon absorption or emission between energy levels.
Explore how angular momentum drives electron spin, using orbital rotation analogies to distinguish up and down states, and introduce half-integer versus integer spins for bosons and fermions.
Differentiate bosons and fermions by spin: bosons have integer spin and mediate forces, while fermions have half-integer spin. Explain symmetric and antisymmetric wavefunctions lead to Pauli exclusion and matter stability.
Explore loop quantum gravity, a theory describing space and gravity as discrete loops linked by spin networks, with area, volume, and curvature quantized, relating to black holes and white holes.
