CONTENT
OBJECTIVE
Teach fundamentals of quantum mechanics at an advanced level (such that the student is able to follow simple research papers)
LEARNING OUTCOME
a) describe the concept of superposition,
b) use this concept to predict outcomes of measurements done on simple quantum systems
c) comprehend the concepts of state vectors and operators
d) solve the energy eigenvalue equation for a range of 1d problems and demonstrate energy quantisation and quantum tunnelling effects,
e) use Dirac notation to calculate expectation values and probabilities for common observables,
f) solve Schrödinger equation for a range of selected three-dimensional problems such as the hydrogen atom, perform calculations on angular momentum wave functions,
g) describe how a general initial state will evolve with time,
h) Calculate how a simple initial state will evolve with time.
