PHYS 580G - Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is the physics of the very small. A system is described using a wave function, which evolves in time according to the Schrödinger Equation. Students learn to interpret the wave function and how to expand it in terms of states of well-defined energy. These techniques are applied to various systems in one and three dimensions, and the concepts of quantized angular momentum, intrinsic spin, and identical particles are explored.
