Course Overview

The Advanced Quantum Mechanics with Applications is a 2 months core programme on quantum mechanics that is launched through the website of Swayam and is taught by the institutions - NPTEL and IIT Guwahati. The main purpose of this certificate is to provide students with the prerequisite knowledge for pursuing advanced research in the topic areas of Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Physics.

The Advanced Quantum Mechanics with Applications training usually starts with learning advanced topics like Density Matrix formalism along with its quantum optics applications. The course is designed keeping in mind an explanation of algorithms related to quantum information so that for the driven systems, quantum optics may be understood. Though the course is a core level physics category programme still it is free. But the catch behind the certification is registration fee payment and attending, and securing pass marks in the final conducted proctored exam.
