Abstract
This course will introduce the students to the basic concepts and postulates of quantum mechanics. Examples will include simple systems such as particle in an infinite and finite well, 1D and 2D harmonic oscillator and tunneling. Numerous approximation techniques, such as WKB method, time-dependent and time-independent perturbation theory, variational methods and numerical solution methods of the 1D Schrödinger equation, will be presented.
The importance of quantum-mechanics in todays life is clearly seen from the following text and the presentation:
Topics covered in this course include:
- Introductory Concepts
- Postulates of Quantum Mechanics
- Wavepackets
- Time-Independent Schrodinger Wave Equation
- Tunneling
- Landauer Formula
- Periodic Potentials-Kronig-Penney Model
- WKB Approximation
- Harmonic Oscillator
- Hydrogen Atom and Electron Spin
- Stationary Perturbation Theory
- Time-Dependent Perturbation Theory
