Physics Explained explores advanced topics in physics without skimping on the mathematical detail. There is a growing community of independent learners who are keen to explore modern ideas in physics with the aid of mathematical reasoning. We aim to tackle advanced topics head on whilst at the same time providing a historical narrative to help provide context to the ideas. A bit about my educational background: I have a PhD in theoretical physics, specialising in string theory. I now dedicate most of my my time to physics education.
This module aims to introduce the concepts and the experimental foundations of quantum physics. You will apply your mathematical skills to carry out calculations related to quantum mechanical problems and acquire an understanding of the impact of quantum theory on contemporary science. *Please check prerequisites before signing up*
