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.
