PHYS 4210:Quantum Mechanics I

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: PHYS 3710, PHYS 3260, MATH 2203, and MATH 2306
This course presents a systematic development of quantum mechanical laws. Students will be introduced to Dirac’s notation and will learn about the theory of angular momentum quantization and will use the operator formalism to solve the Schrödinger’s equation in 3-dim for a particle in a central force field, and the simple harmonic oscillator. In addition, students will learn concepts of time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory and scattering theory.
