Quantum physics in the real world
4.5 ECTS creditsThe history of quantum physics, based on biographies of Einstein, Bohr, Fermi, Dirac, and especially Heisenberg.
The phenomenology of quantum physics: the double-slit experiment with low intensity, the photoelectric effect, the Zeeman effect, radioactivity, chemical allotropy, particle beams, and particle detectors.
The applications of quantum physics: the structure and quantum chemistry of the periodic table, information technology, solar cells, nuclear power, nuclear weapons, medical radiation physics and the MRI camera, quantum computers.
The philosophy of quantum physics: "interpreting" quantum physics, the "problem of measuring", wave-particle duality, non-locality, the ontology of quantum conditions, quantum physics and information theory, the relation of quantum physics to other theoretical frameworks, such as for instance relativity theory.
