Description

This is a one semester course targeted at students who have passed pre-calculus that introduces them to the basic ideas and mathematics of Quantum Mechanics. This course will cover the fundamentals of quantum physics; its phenomenological, theoretical and experimental basis. The course is aimed at conveying working knowledge of the principle of quantum mechanics, targeted towards the understanding of quantum information processing and quantum computation. This course is not calculus based and it requires only pre-calculus. Quantum mechanics will be taught using only linear algebra, which will be taught alongside with the physics.

Prerequisites

MATH 130 or MATH or permission of instructor or Placement into MATH 140 from ALEKS test or SAT
