CONTENT
OBJECTIVE
Teach fundamentals of quantum mechanics at an advanced level (such that the student is able to follow simple research papers)
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- 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.
