PHYS 352 - Quantum Mechanics I

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0

An introductory course in the theory of non-relativistic quantum mechanics in its currently accepted form. Experiments resulting in the mathematical formulation of quantum theory are discussed. Hilbert space vectors, operator algebra, and the postulates of quantum mechanics lead to proofs of the compatibility theorem and the uncertainty principle. The states of a particle, as determined by Schroedinger’s Equation, are studied in several situations.
