PHYS 052 - The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics

HC NSMA

The behavior of atoms and electrons is governed by rules that seem bizarre to our eyes because our opinion of what is usual and what is strange is based on only macroscopic experience. This course investigates these strange conceptual underpinnings of quantum mechanics.

This course is appropriate for new students.
