| Aim: The course should give a good understanding of the principles and concepts of quantum mechanics. The student should also become familiar with the most important methods and know how to apply them. |
||||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) NFYB10 Quantum Physics and NMAC51 Mathematical Methods of Physics or equivalent courses. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
||||
| Supplementary courses: NFYD65 Quantum Dynamics. |
||||
| Organisation: Lectures and problem solving sessions. |
||||
| Course contents: The basic postulates of quantum mechanics. Hermitian operators. Commutation and uncertainty relations. Time evolution. x- and p-representation. Dirac's notation. Angular momentum operators, spin and Pauli matrices. Ladder operators. Time-independent perturbation theory, the Stark effect. The variational principle. Molecular orbitals. Many-particle systems, the helium atom. Symmetric and antisymmetric wave functions. Conceptual problems of quantum mechanics. |
