About the course
Quantum mechanics based on the Dirac formalism with bra and ket vectors, operators and observables. The harmonic oscillator with creation and annihilation operators. Quantum mechanical tunnelling. Quantum entangled states and quantum optics: Laboratory exercise with "quantum eraser" and its connection to Dirac formalism. Quantum mechanical formulation of Bloch functions in a periodic crystal. Reciprocal space: reciprocal space and the Brillouin zones, phonons and thermal properties of solids. Electrons: the free electron Fermi gas, energy bands. Classification of materials: metals, semiconductors, insulators.
