| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1167 Introduction to the principles governing systems at the atomic scale. Topics include the experimental basis of quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality, Schrodingers equation and solutions in one dimension, time dependence of quantum states, angular momentum, and one-electron atoms. Recent developments, such as paradoxes calling attention to the remarkable behavior of quantum systems, or quantum computing, will be discussed. Multi-electron atoms and nuclei will be considered if time allows. We recommend taking Physics 301, a related laboratory half-course, concurrently. ; Prerequisite(s): PHYS H213 or PHYS B308; we strongly recommend taking MATH H215 (Linear Algebra) or the equivalent before PHYS 214; Enrollment Limit: 30 Natural Science, Quantitative, C: Physical and Natural Processes (; Hav: NA, QU, C) |
