Quantum physics or mechanics describes the nature of energy at the level of atoms and subatomic particles. This branch of physics includes topics on field theory and is considered as a fundamental theory in physics that you need to learn about.

This [course_title] is created to introduce the basics features of quantum mechanics. You are provided with lectures on the experimental basis of quantum physics, wave mechanics, and Schrodinger’s equation.

Assessment

This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
