Course Introduction
《Quantum Mechanics》 is branch of physics that describes the laws governing the behavior of small particles at the atomic scale. Born in early 20th century, when we had difficulties in understanding some observations of nature.
This course will be given in each Fall semester by Prof. Hong-Xi Xing（邢宏喜）, or Prof. Zhen-Yu Wang（王振宇）, or Prof. Zheng-Yuan Xue （薛正远）at SCNU.
