PHYS 553 - Quantum Mechanics

Institution:

University of Michigan-Dearborn

Subject:

Physics

Description:

A course in non-relative quantum mechanics emphasizing the basic postulates of quantum theory, the concepts of eigenstates and eigenvalues, and the role and use of operators and communication relations in the development of the subject. Application of the Schrodinger and Heisenberg formalisms to the solution of single-particle systems subject to a variety of potential functions, including simple step/barrier potentials, the harmonic oscillator potential and the Coulomb potential, will be made. Additional reading assignments and/or projects distinguish this course from its undergraduate version PHYS 453. Students cannot receive credit for both PHYS 453 and PHYS 553.
