Abstract

The purpose of this scientific initiation project is to give the student an introduction to the two pillars of modern (theoretical) physics: Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. More specifically, the project aims to give a view of the subjects more advanced with respects to those given in the undergraduate courses. In addition, the project will provide the student with tools that will be used at the end of the undergraduate studies and in graduate school.
