PHYS 340 - Quantum Mechanics

Credits: 3
Planned Offering: Fall

Prerequisite: PHYS 210; Prerequisite or corequisite: MATH 332. The postulates on which quantum theory is based are introduced and illustrated through a series of examples, including photon polarization states (Mach- Zehnder interferometer); one-dimensional bound state (square well and harmonic oscillator) and scattering examples, (tunneling, resonant transmission) in the Schroedinger approach; and spin one-half systems (Bell inequality.)
