PY 414 - Quantum Mechanics


This is a formal introduction to the language and techniques of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. Investigations will center on solutions of the Schroedinger equation for the harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, and other simple potentials. Students also gain familiarity with Dirac the notation, angular momentum and spin and some elements of scattering theory and approximation methods.
