• explain the technique of spectroscopy
• describe the origin of Planck’s constant and the birth of quantum physics
• describe the Bohr model of the atom
• describe the dual nature of matter and light
• explain the following concepts: wavefunction, quantum entanglement, Pauli’s Exclusion Principle and Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle
• list some of the theories for the quantum world
• describe current and future applications of quantum technology.

There are no other costs but you will require a notepad and pen if you wish to take notes.

Lecture - all information will be supplied via Powerpoint slides which will be made available for download. Be prepared to contribute to class discussion and group work.
