Behörighet:
För kurser inom Chalmers utbildningsprogram gäller samma behörighetskrav som till de(t) program kursen ingår i.
Kursspecifika förkunskaper
Mathematics 30 c (including Linear algebra, Multivariable calculus, Fourier analysis), Mechanics, Electromagnetic field theory, and Quantum physics.
Syfte
This course aims at giving a firm grounding in non-relativistic quantum mechanics, providing the necessary background for basic and applied research in physics as well as for "quantum engineering'' for advanced technologies. The course is built upon an axiomatic approach, exploiting the mathematical theory of linear vector spaces, and from there on develops the theory systematically with a large number of representative examples, including some of the most recent developments in quantum computing, non-demolition experiments, and quantum phase transitions.
Lärandemål (efter fullgjord kurs ska studenten kunna)
Have a thorough understanding of the conceptual basis of non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics (with the exception of scattering theory, which is covered in later courses).
Compute the energy spectrum of simple systems.
Apply the relevant approximation techniques to study the dynamics of more complex systems.
Fully understand the quantum theory of angular momentum and use it to analyze quantum systems.
Use symmetry principles as guidance to the study of nature.
