DEVELOPING GENERAL AND SPECIAL COMPETENCES OF STUDENTS
General competencies: knowledge and recognition of phenomena and their mathematical description
Special competencies: application of quantum mechanics in technology.

STUDENTS 'TEACHING OBLIGATIONS AND THEIR PERFORMANCE
Students are required to attend lectures and seminars

CONDITIONS FOR OBTAINING A SIGNATURE
80% attendance at lectures and seminars

TEACHING METHODS
lectures (ex cathedra)
seminars (ex cathedra)

METHODS OF TESTING KNOWLEDGE AND TAKING EXAMS
Two optional written tests and homework. Students can choose the seminar topic themselves. Quality and skill of processing and presenting the seminar topic and the total number
points obtained at the colloquia define the final grade as follows:
0-39 insufficient
40-54 sufficient
55-69 good
70-84 very good
85-100 (or more) excellent
Students who earn 39, or less, points in colloquia, and who have not taken a seminar topic,
they must take a written and oral exam.

METHOD OF MONITORING THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF COURSES
Student survey

METHODOLOGICAL PREREQUISITES
None
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Determination of the Schrödinger equation for different systems, of one or more particles
2. Determining the mathematical space in which quantum mechanical problems are set and solved
3. Methods of solving the Schrödinger equation.
4. The meaning and significance of quantum numbers. Atomic and molecular orbitals.

LEARNING OUTCOMES AT PROGRAM LEVEL
1. Identify problems in which quantum effects cannot be ignored, as well as those in which
these effects can be ignored.
2. Distinguish classical quantities from corresponding quantum mechanical quantities, at the same time
retaining a physical dawn based on classical physics.
3. Recognition of the essential identity of the solution of the Schrödinger equation for one and the same
a particular problem, if the solutions differ only in the mathematical space in which it is
problem defined.
4. Application of exact and approximate quantum numbers to atomic and molecular systems.
