Skills to be acquired in this module	The students are competent on the fundamental principles of atomic and molecular physics. They are familiar to classical description and have established a quantum mechanical understanding. The exercises and tutorials deepen the knowledge by assigning appropriate homework.
Module contents	concepts of atomic models angular momentum, spin, and magnetic properties of the electrons interaction with electric and magnetic fields wave-particle dualism of electrons and photons introduction to quantum mechanics: wave packets, Schrodinger equation, Heisenberg uncertainty principle relativity and Dirac equation coupling schemes and atomic spectra Bosons and fermions periodic system of the elements introduction to molecular physics molecular spectra applications: the electron in the box, the harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, fine and hyperfine structure, line shapes, spectroscopy and modern experimental methods
