PHYS 5350 - Quantum Mechanics I

One optional discussion and three hours lecture. Three credit hours.

This course covers the concepts and history of quantum mechanics, experimental basis, the uncertainty principle, the Schrodinger equation with applications to simple systems, the hydrogen atom, perturbation theory, and the symmetry principles. Material from the Consortium for Upper-level Physics Software (CUPS) is assigned to enable students to investigate quantum systems in a sophisticated way.
