That is a good name, much preferable to "modern physics" or "nonclassical
physics".
There was a treeemendous revolution in physics starting at about 1900.
Maybe several revolutions, depending on how you count.

Possible refinement:
20th- and 21st-Century Physics
Most of the course will still be 20th-century stuff, but mentioning
the 21st century gives the name a little bit more pizazz.
