Physics
Description: This is a second course in quantum mechanics. We will therefore be continuing to develop and expand upon introductory ideas as well as introduce additional advanced concepts. These may include but are not limited to approximation methods (including the WKB approximation, variational methods, and perturbation theory), angular momentum (including spin, orbital, and total angular momentum), scattering theory and various applications to atomic, molecular, solid-state, and nuclear physics. Letter grade only.
Units: 3
