COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The successful student will obtain a thorough introduction to the theory Quantum Mechanics including:
• Quantum mechanical solution of simple systems such as the harmonic oscillator and a particle in a potential well.
• Improved mathematical skills necessary to solve differential equations and eigenvalue problems.
The overall intent of this course is to build upon your foundation from Modern Physics. Quantum Mechanics has many new concepts including operators, observables, Hilbert space, and state functions. The book starts with the Schrödinger equation and applies it to simple physical systems. You should, of course, already be familiar with simple quantum systems and the semi-classical Bohr theory of hydrogen. The more rigorous mathematical approach presented by Griffiths provides the quantum mechanical basis used by practicing physicists.
Relation to departmental goals:
The course gives the student the mathematical skills for solving
quantum mechanical problems and to understand the microscopic
nature of physical systems. In addition, it provides the experience to
compute the relevant quantum quantities like energy bound states.
Course Outlines:
Chapter 1: The wave function
Schrödinger equation, Interpretation, Probability, Normalization
Momentum in quantum mechanics.
Chapter 2: Time-independent Schrödinger equation in 1- dimension.
Stationary states, Infinite square-well, One-dimensional harmonic
oscillator, Free particle, Wave packet, delta-function potential,
the finite square well, Scattering matrix.
Chapter 3: Formal structure of quantum mechanics
Linear algebra, function spaces, generalized interpretation of
quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle.
Chapter 4: Quantum mechanics in three dimensions
Three-dimensional Schrödinger equation, angular equation,
radial equation, the hydrogen atom, energy eigenvalues and
eigen functions,
Assignments: There will be about eight home work problems during
the semester.
Grading:
Two – midterm exams 40%
Home works 10%
Final Exam 50%
Academic Integrity Statement:
Violation of academic integrity is absolutely and totally prohibited by
University regulations. If an academic dishonesty is committed by a student then he will be subjected to hard university punishment.
