Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The subject follows the previously taught subject 'Introduction to quantum physics and chemistry'. Its goal is to introduce more advance chapters of quantum mechanics such as matrix representation of quantum mechanics, additivity of angular momenta, perturbation theory, probability of transition in two-level system (e.g. photon absorption) or second quantization and application of quantum mechanics, such as quantum cryptography and quantum teleportation.
