PHYS 5450 - Quantum Mechanics

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Physics

Description:

This is an advanced undergraduate course in quantum mechanics. It will build on material mastered in previous core courses (e.g., PHYS 4010 - Introduction to Electromagnetism and Quantum Mechanics). The course will go deeper into formal aspects of quantum mechanics, three-dimensional quantum mechanics, identical particles, perturbation theory, the variational principle and the WKB approximation. Should time allow, the adiabatic approximation and topics from quantum information science may be introduced as well. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in PHYS 4010 AND ((MATH 3150 OR MATH 3140 OR MATH 5440) AND (MATH 3160 OR MATH 4200)) OR Graduate status in Physics/Astronomy
