Quantum Phenomenology and Radiation Physics

About this programme

This course takes off after a basic course in quantum mechanics and you will learn more about quantum mechanics, such as how a physical system can be in two states simultaneously and how we can describe that as an expansion in base states. You will also learn about the matrix representation and about spin and addition of angular momentum and how perturbation theory can be used to solve difficult problems. In this course, you will also apply quantum mechanics on other parts of physics, such as Hydrogen like atoms, many electron atoms, molecules and solid-state physics. You will also get acquainted with nuclear physics and learn about the atomic nucleus, nuclear methods and radioactive decay. This is a first cycle course given during the daytime. The course is part of the Master's programme in medical physics. It can also be studied as a separate course. The education on the course typically includes three lectures and three tutorials per week. Students are encouraged to solve a broad spectrum of problems related to the various parts of the course. To follow your passion. To be close to international career opportunities. To explore city and countryside. In Stockholm you can really get the best of both worlds. Here we explain all the different steps you need to go through when applying to a course or programme. Stockholm University arranges regular webinars and participates in educational fairs and events virtually and around the world to meet students and inform them about our study programmes.
