PHYS 453: Quantum Mechanics II

Course Description

This course explores the fundamental principles and advanced concepts of quantum mechanics. Students deepen their understanding of mathematical formalism, including linear algebra and Dirac notation. Topics include wave-particle duality, the time-dependent Schrodinger equation, quantum mechanics in three dimensions, identical particles, and perturbation theory. Advanced topics may include quantum entanglement, superposition, and information theory along with applications such as quantum computation and communication. Emphasis is placed on theoretical comprehension, problem-solving, and connecting theory to practical implementation. Four hours lecture. (Every fourth semester) (F, W).
