PHYS 580 - Quantum Mechanics

Institution:

Truman State University

Subject:

Description:

Quantum mechanics is the physics of the very small. A system is described using a wave function, which evolves in time according to the Schr?dinger Equation. Students will learn to interpret the wave function and how to expand it in terms of states of well-defined energy. These techniques will be applied to various systems in one and three dimensions, and the concepts of quantized angular momentum, intrinsic spin, and identical particles will be explored. Prerequisites: grades of "C" or higher in PHYS 251, PHYS 275, and PHYS 382.Credits: 3 hours When Offered: (offered fall only) NOTE: General Honors Course. NOTE: This course counts toward the 63-hour Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) graduation requirement.
