Objectives and Contents
Objectives of the Course Unit	This is an introductory course (Basics) that originates from my desire to share the knowledge of the mysterious as fascinating world of Quantum Physics. Considering how the media (sometimes also physicists) present Quantum Theory focusing only on highly dubious ideas and speculations backed by no evidence or, worse, promote pseudo-scientific hypes that fall regularly into and out of fashion. It is necessary to create a serious introduction to the conceptual foundations of Quantum Physics.
Contents of the Course Unit	On completion of this course students should be able to develop knowledge and understanding of the Quantum Physics. This course does not need any technical background except for some basics of algebra, trigonometry and calculus. It might be easier for those having already some math background but a mathematical appendix is furnished for those who need a reminder.
Contribution of the Course Intending to Provide the Professional Education	The student will be able to learn basic concepts of Quantum Physics. It is an introductory level course and starts with a description of the experiments and ideas that led to the theory of quantum physics. The wave function, its probability interpretation and the Schrödinger equation are introduced and applied to one-dimensional problems. The quantum physics description of the hydrogen atom and the quantum numbers for angular momentum and spin are introduced. The structure and the properties of atomic nuclei are treated, as well as nuclear reactions, fission, fusion and various types of radiation.
