Provide a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, discussing the main experimental evidence and the resulting theoretical interpretations that led to the crisis of classical physics, and illustrating its basic principles: notion of probability, wave-particle duality, indetermination principle. Quantum dynamics, the Schroedinger equation and its solution for some relevant physical systems are then described.
