The course requires a good knowledge of introductory quantum mechanics (wave-particle duality, hydrogen atom, the harmonic oscillator energy, molecular bond), at the level of a Modern Physics course taught in most Physics/Chemistry/Materials Departments. Previously successfully completed introductory courses in Materials Science and / or statistical physics would be of help, although this is not a prerequisite.
