PHYS4053 — Quantum Mechanics
PHYS 4053 - Quantum Mechanics PHYS 4053 - Quantum Mechanics The course covers the basic ideas of quantum mechanics, which is the foundation and explanatory framework of much of modern physics. Solutions of Schrödinger’s equation in one dimension, formalism, and postulates of quantum mechanics and solutions of Schrödinger’s equation in three dimensions, in particular the hydrogen atom are all discussed. The students are expected to master problem-solving skills, learn about new mathematical techniques, and develop a conceptual understanding regarding the interplay between quantum mechanics and other areas of physics and the real world.
Prerequisites: MATH3033, PHYS2213, PHYS2211
