Overview of class

This is the second of a three-quarter sequence of a graduate-level course on quantum mechanics and its applications to the microphysical world.

Topics include: Symmetry in quantum theory, quantum mechanics of charged particles, atomic structure I, Feynman's formulation of quantum mechanics, identical particles in quantum theory, atomic and molecular structure II, time-dependent perturbation theory and theory of quantum transitions.

Registration Requirements

Face to Face: In person, in campus space (subject to change by the instructor based on health and safety conditions in Evanston)

Advanced undergraduates in physical sciences may register with permission of the instructor. Pre-requisites in linear algebra, differential equations and complex variables as well as undergraduate classical and quantum mechanics will be assumed..

Learning Objectives

Working knowledge of quantum mechanics as preparation for graduate research in physical sciences.

Class Materials (Required)

None.
