Course description
Quantum mechanics are widely applied to electronics and material engineering, where the specific features of quantum mechanics are essential.
In order to understand such a quantum-mechanical features, the lecture provides, in addition to the quantum theory for steady states, approximation theory and time-dependent treatment of non-stationary states. Application of such quantum-mechanical features, for example, quantum dots, quantum communication, and quantum computing, are also provided.
Expected Learning
Students are expected to understand the basic concepts of quantum mechanics as linear theory, superposed states, meaning of measurements, which are applied to approximation theory of steady states and time-dependent Schrodinger equation.
Students are also expected to understand the application of these concepts to quantum devices.
