Quantum Mechanics I

PREREQUISITES: (PHYS-UA 105 AND PHYS-UA 106) OR (PHYS-AD 300 AND MATH-AD 300) WITH A MINIMUM GRADE OF C.

STUDENTS MUST ALSO REGISTER FOR RCT SEC 002 OR 003.

Designed to deepen the insights into quantum mechanics introduced in PHYS-UA 103, 104 and to provide an introduction to the more formal mathematical structure of quantum mechanics. The Schr?dinger and Heisenberg description of quantal systems; perturbation theory; spin and statistics; coupling of angular momenta; scattering theory; and applications to atomic, molecular, nuclear, and elementary particle physics.
