PHYSIC 247 - Quantum Information I: Fundamentals of Quantum Physics

Formerly PHYSIC 247 - Fundamentals of Quantum Physics
3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded or pass/fail
Course can be counted for credit once

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.

Enrollment Requirements:
Prerequisite: MATH 130  or MATH 140   or permission of instructor or placement into MATH 140 from ALEKS test or SAT
