Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Knowledge and understanding
At the end of this course, each student will know to understand and solve problems with quantum gates
Applying knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course the students will be able to apply the laws of Modern Physics to simple problems of Quantum Mechanics
Making judgements:
The students will be able to apply their knowledge to problems not discussed during the teaching hours.
Communication skills:
Each student is more than recommended to ask questions during this course and to participate to discussions in order to improve his/her ability to present his/her work
At the end of the course the students will be able to present and discuss problems of Modern Physics with proper language and mathematical formalism required by the discipline.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
