Technological Institute MG28: Mon, Wed, Fri 9:00AM - 9:50AM

Overview of class

This course covers time dependent quantum mechanics. Included are applications to molecular optical properties, to the interaction of radiation and matter, to scattering theory and to time-dependent spectroscopy. The classwork includes selected computational projects relevant to spectroscopic properties.

Registration Requirements

Undergraduate and graduate students from any department can register, but it is essential that the student has previously taken an introductory course in quantum mechanics which includes eigenvalues and eigenfunctions as applied to the harmonic oscillator and the hydrogen atom.
