Objective of the Course: |
To provide students with a basic knowledge of the concepts and applications of quantum mechanics. This course is part one of a two semester course focused on a rigorous exposition
to the principles of Quantum mechanics. The Dirac bra-ket formalism will be introduced and used throughout to present the principles of Quantum Mechanics in a
general context. We will discuss anyalytic solutions to the Schr¨odinger equation for
a variety of potentials in one, two and three dimensions. The role of symmetries as
the underlying principle of Quantum Mechanics will be emphasized throughout the
course. The use of symmetry principles and operators methods will be discussed |
