Welcome to the Quantum Mechanics B PHY5646 Spring 2009
This is the second semester of a two-semester graduate level sequence QM A and QM B. Its goal is to explain the concepts and mathematical methods of Quantum Mechanics, and to prepare a student to solve quantum mechanics problems arising in different physical applications. The emphasis of the courses is equally on conceptual grasp of the subject as well as on problem solving. This sequence of courses builds the foundation for more advanced courses and graduate research in experimental or theoretical physics.
The key component of the course is the collaborative student contribution to the course Wiki-textbook. Each team of students is responsible for BOTH writing the assigned chapter AND editing chapters of others.
Outline of the course:
Stationary state perturbation theory in Quantum Mechanics
Time dependent perturbation theory in Quantum Mechanics
Interaction of radiation and matter
Quantization of electromagnetic radiation
Additional Reading
- Experimental observation of a Lamb-like shift in a solid state setup Science 322, 1357 (2008).
