Quantum Mechanics

"Quantum Computing" is among those terms that are widely discussed but often poorly understood. The reasons of this state of affairs may be numerous, but possibly the most significant among them is that it is a relatively new scientific area, and it's clear interpretations are not yet widely spread. [...]

Quantum information and quantum computations is a new, rapidly developing branch of physics that has arisen from quantum mechanics, mathematical physics and classical information theory. Significant interest in this area is explained by the great prospects that will open upon the implementation of its ideas, capturing almost all areas [...]

This is yet one more introductory course on quantum computing. Here I concentrate more on how the mathematical model of quantum computing grows out from physics and experiment, while omitting most of the formulas (when possible) and rigorous proofs.

This course covers key topics in the use of quantum mechanics in many modern applications in science and technology, introduces core advanced concepts such as spin, identical particles, the quantum mechanics of light, the basics of quantum information, and the interpretation of quantum mechanics, and covers the major ways [...]

Learn the foundations of quantum mechanics – wave mechanics, spin one-half, vector spaces and linear operators, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, quantum dynamics, two-state systems, entanglement, and angular momentum. This course offers a sophisticated view of quantum mechanics and its proper mathematical foundation. Completing the course will give you the [...]

The aim of the course is a basic acquaintance with the concepts and approaches used in the field of nanomaterials design, fabrication and analysis. The course examines the physical basis of modern nanotechnology from the standpoint of semiconductor physics and quantum mechanics. The range of issues covered includes nanosystems [...]

Learn about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, quantum dynamics and two-state systems including applications to NMR and masers.
