Quantum Mechanics and Classical Physics
This section focuses on quantum theory, wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, Schrödinger equation, and quantum states. Classical topics include Newtonian mechanics, conservation laws, and Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics.
- Key Topics:
- Time-independent and time-dependent Schrödinger equations
- Quantum tunneling and potential wells
- Lagrangian mechanics
Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics
Explores entropy, laws of thermodynamics, and the statistical interpretation of thermodynamic quantities using ensembles.
- Key Topics:
- Maxwell-Boltzmann, Bose-Einstein, and Fermi-Dirac distributions
- Partition functions and thermodynamic potentials
Electrodynamics and Optics
Covers electric and magnetic fields, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves, waveguides, and laser physics.
- Key Topics:
- Vector calculus and field theory
- Wave-particle duality of light
- Modern optical systems
Research Methodology and Laboratory
Students perform advanced experiments in optics, solid state, and nuclear physics and write research papers under faculty guidance.
