Quantum science is one of the most important scientific research frontiers in the world. Many great brains like
Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Schrodinger, Dirac, Pauli, etc., were fascinated by its beauty and mysterious. Quantum
mechanics is essential to materials science and engineering at the atomic, molecular and crystal scales. Important
optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of materials can only be well understood within the realm of quantum
mechanics. This course is an introductory course for quantum mechanics with emphasis on applications in materials
science. The objective is to provide students in materials science and engineering with basic concepts in quantum
mechanics and apply the principles and methodologies to understand materials properties and device applications.
Topics to be covered include Schrödinger’s wave equation, Dirac notations, quantum harmonic oscillators, and
perturbation theory. By applying those quantum mechanical concepts, electron propagation, optical transitions and so on
are explained in detail. After completing this course, students will have in-depth understanding of important materials
properties and build a solid foundation to explore frontier
materials research.
