PHYS 5300 - Advanced Quantum Mechanics (3)

Prerequisites: PHYS 4310. A study of the principles of quantum physics with an emphasis on selected applications to atoms, molecules, solids, nuclei and elementary particles. This is the first course of a two-semester sequence. Topics include the development of the Schrödinger wave equation description in quantum mechanics and applications to 1-dimensional and 3-dimensional time independent systems including the harmonic oscillator and alpha-decay, the hydrogen atom with spin and angular momentum operators along with multiparticle wavefunctions and symmetries and multielectron atoms with the addition of angular momentum. (Three hours lecture per week.).
