PHY 307: Physical and Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
4.00 Credits
Stony Brook University
Physical and mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. Maxwell waves and their properties: intensity, energy density, and momentum density. Planck-Einstein relation between energy and frequency for light quanta. De Broglie relation between momentum and wavelength. Number density and probability density of photons. One-photon quantum mechanics, with Maxwell field as the wave function. Diffraction phenomena. Uncertainty relation between wavelength and position, hence between momentum and position. Not for credit in addition to PHY 390 with similar topic. Not for credit in addition to PHY 274.

PHY 308: Quantum Physics
3.00 Credits
Stony Brook University
The concepts, historical development, and mathematical methods of quantum mechanics. Topics include Schroedinger's equation in time-dependent and time-independent forms; one- and three-dimensional solutions, including the treatment of angular momentum and spin. Applications to simple systems, especially the hydrogen atom, are stressed.

PHY 311: Connections in Science
1.00 Credits
Stony Brook University
A selection of the interrelations between physics and other scientific and technological fields, using modern examples from engineering, medicine, and applied mathematics, among others. The course is taught as a seminar and includes guest lecturers, tours of laboratories, and discussion of classic and current research projects. Appropriate for physics and non-physics majors alike.

PHY 313: Mystery of Matter
3.00 Credits
Stony Brook University
Exploration of our understanding of the basic constituents of matter, and of how that understanding and the tools developed to study them affect aspects of contemporary society. Historical discoveries and their place in social and political institutions of the time are considered, along with issues of government funding and the cost to society. Includes a discussion of developments at Brookhaven National Laboratory and their scientific and social impact.

PHY 315: Hands-On Science with Cosmic Rays: Experimental Research for Non-Physics Majors
3.00 Credits
Stony Brook University
Cosmic rays are a ubiquitous source of background radiation here on Earth, constantly replenishing short-lived radioactive materials (like Carbon 14) and perhaps providing the engine that has driven evolution over the ages. This seminar will provide an interactive opportunity to study the properties of cosmic rays using modern particle detectors and computers as an introduction to the scientific method, experimental techniques,and data analysis. Classes will integrate group discussions with hands-on investigations in small teams, and then joint brainstorming sessions to analyze and understand the data to suggest ways to improve the experimental measurements. Students will use computers to take and analyze data, to post their results, and to interact with each other and the course staff. Intended for non-Physics majors.

PHY 335: Electronics and Instrumentation Laboratory
3.00 Credits
Stony Brook University
An intensive laboratory-based course covering modern electronic circuits and the theory behind them. Topics include AC circuits, digital techniques, and computer interfacing involving both interface hardware and programming in a high-level language such as BASIC or Pascal. Two three-hour laboratories per week.

PHY 382: The Quantum Moment: Quantum Mechanics in Philosophy, Culture, and Life
3.00 Credits
Stony Brook University
This course explores the implications and influence, real and alleged, of quantum mechanics on fields other than physics. What does quantum mechanics mean, if anything, for philosophy, ethics, and social behavior? At the same time, we shall look into how social and cultural influences may have affected the way that quantum mechanics was formulated, and how it has evolved. We shall review the early history of quantum mechanics, and discuss some of the important debates at the founding of quantum mechanics. Students will not be expected to learn the mathematics in depth, only the introduction provided by the instructors aimed at non-science students. Besides readings, the course will also involve plays, films, and guest speakers. Students will be expected to work on a final project, to be presented in class. This course is offered as both PHI 382 and PHY 382.
