Overview
This Quantum Mechanics for Engineers course offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado Boulder is intended for engineers seeking to acquire fundamental understanding of quantum mechanics which are the basis of modern electrical, mechanical and quantum engineering. Through 3 courses, you will learn (1) basic concepts such as superposition and entanglement of quantum states, measurement in quantum mechanics and uncertainty principle, (2) mathematical tools needed to describe and manipulate quantum states, (3) advanced theory of angular momentum and (4) approximation methods widely applicable in many fields.
Applied Learning Project
You will complete homework quizzes throughout the courses that allow you to practice and test your knowledge. In addition, each course contains at least one peer review assignment that requires you to dive deeper into the material. There are no project-based assignments in this specialization.
What You Will Learn:
- Understand fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics
- Mathematically describe behaviors of quantum systems and compute important quantities
- Achieve mastery of required mathematical apparatus
Skills You Will Gain:
- Differential Equations
