Quantum mechanics
No TL;DR found
Abstract
This is an advanced course in the theory of quantum mechanics, for junior or senior level students. It is intended primarily for physics majors, but should be of interest also to many other students, especially those in math, science and engineering. Prerequisite are PHY 305 Modern Physics I, MAT 293 Multivariable Calculus, and MAT 330 Introduction to Differential Equations. Students are therefore assumed to know some basic quantum physics, and to be able to use vector calculus and simple differential equations. They will learn the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics, its application to various systems, and some philosophical implications of its physical interpretation. The goal is for students to go beyond conceptual understanding of these topics, becoming able to perform nontrivial analysis and calculations beyond the level of an introductory survey course.
