Course Overview
The Quantum Mechanics online program is a 12-week-long course designed to make the learners appreciate the neatness of Dirac’s bracket notation. It covers foundational concepts and explains them in simple terms to enable participants to pursue advanced courses afterward. The study of Dirac’s bracket notation will help the students explore various aspects of the microscopic world.
The Quantum Mechanics certification course is drafted and delivered by the celebrated Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay. It is brought to you by the National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), which is a project of the Ministry of Human Resource Department (MHRD). Also, it is a Faculty Development Program (FDP) in Physics permitted by the AICTE.
The Quantum Mechanics training will teach various ideas of quantum mechanics including function spaces, Schrodinger pictures, angular momentum, quantum computer, tensor operators, and more. This core course also gives the candidates a chance to receive a digital certificate after fulfilling some fixed eligibility conditions.

Eligibility Criteria
To join the Quantum Mechanics program, you must have completed a sophomore-level course on Quantum Physics and applications. You also need to be familiar with concepts including expectation values, the wave function, and Schrodinger’s equation.
Furthermore, the eligibility for the Quantum Mechanics certification is subject to the achievement of a minimum of 40% marks as the final score. This final score comprises a written exam score (75% weightage) and an average assignment score (25% weightage) based on the best eight assignments out of a total of 12. Fulfillment of both criteria is mandatory to receive the certification.
