IN PERSON: Quantum physics resulted from the work of thousands of individuals, and the field is filled with many interesting characters. We will emphasize the personalities involved as the instructor describes the development of quantum physics in the 20th century. While the ideas behind quantum physics seem strange, virtually all aspects of modern life stem from the quantum aspects of the microscopic world. This lecture-based course will present some of the basic concepts behind quantum physics without assuming a background in mathematics. While mathematics is essential for a full understanding of quantum physics, students should be able to grasp the broad underlying ideas using math only as a backdrop. | Lecture + Q&A.
