Course No：11120860
Title：Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics for Photonics
Class Hours/Week: 1 - 0 Credit：1
Category：Optional
Prerequisites： Physics
Audience：Undergraduate students
Teaching manner：Lecture
Course objectives and basic requirements:
The aim of the course is to provide undergraduate students with basic concepts of quantum mechanics, especially those showing great potential for photonics. For students from non-physics departments such as optical engineering, this quantum mechanics course should be very helpful to develop their comprehensive philosophy of the world and physical insight into the natural rules.
After the course, the students are expected to have a basic quantum-mechanics view of the world, especially of the photonics world.
Course introduction:
This course covers the basic quantum physics for optics and photonics, introduces the principles of quantum mechanics, the quantum description of photon-related effects and their frontiers.
