3 EE9902 SPECIAL TOPICS - QUANTUM PHYSICS IN MODERN TECHNOLOGY Acad Unit: 3.0 Prerequisite: Nil Effective: 6-22 August 2007 Last update: 12 July 2007 LEARNING OBJECTIVE As modern technology evolves from the micrometer to the nanometer scale, the performance of new nano-devices cannot rely on just classical physics, for which the influence of quantum physics becomes significant. Thus engineers must learn to cope with the quirks and demands of the quantum physics for next generation application. In this course, the foundations of quantum physics will be briefly introduced, following by a grasp of the symmetries and properties of the Schrodinger wave function which will give students to understand the new engineering concepts in nanotechnology. Applications of these principles to selected areas in nanotechnology will also be discussed. CONTENT A Brief Review of Quantum Physics, Electron Spin and Spintronics, Fermi Gas of Electrons, Bose Gas and Bose-Einstein Condensation, Pairing Up Electrons: Superconductivity, Josephson Junctions and Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID), Quantum Hall Effect, Laser Cooling COURSE OUTLINE This course covers the essential principles of quantum physics and modern technology. LEARNING OUTCOME Students will acquire the knowledge of quantum physics which will facilitate students to understand the new engineering concepts in nanotechnology.
