The Quantum World | HarvardX on edX

Learn the core of quantum mechanics, and program simulations in Python to apply quantum theory to chemistry.

About this course Skip Course Description
Welcome to The Quantum World!

This course is an introduction to quantum chemistry: the application of quantum theory to atoms, molecules, and materials. You’ll learn about wavefunctions, probability, special notations, and approximations that make quantum mechanics easier to apply. You’ll also learn how to use Python to program quantum-mechanical models of atoms and molecules.

HarvardX has partnered with DataCamp to create assignments in Python that allow students to program directly in a browser-based interface. You will not need to download any special software, but an up-to-date browser is recommended.

This course has serious prerequisites. You will need to be comfortable with college-level chemistry and calculus. Some prior programming experience is also encouraged.

The Quantum World is ideal for:

Chemistry majors who want extra material alongside an on-campus course
Chemistry majors at an institution that does not offer quantum chemistry
Physics or CompSci majors who want to branch out to chemistry
Graduate students refreshing on quantum mechanics before their qualifying exams
Professional chemists who want to brush up on their skills

What you'll learn
The principles of quantum mechanics
How quantum mechanics applies to chemistry
How to simulate quantum mechanics in Python

Usually these videos include a link in the description leading to the course registration page. I think it's helpful

Looks really cool. I think I'll take some easier courses and then come back to this one.
