Prerequisite

PH605

Overview

This course aims to familiarize students with the difference between classical and quantum physics, the ability to solve and manipulate eigenfunctions, deal with angular momentum and spin in quantum systems, and the ability to quantitatively represent using matrices to solve a research problem. It covers topics of quantum dynamics, angular momentum theory, and dispersion theory.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the course, the student will be able to:1- Describe an exact physical system mathematically.2- Explain the meanings of Dirac in describing microsystems.3- Analyze the equations of a two-level quantitative system.4- Distinguish between classical motion equations and quantitative time evolution equations in scientific research issues.5- Apply quantitative concepts in solving complex problems.6- Extract information related to the course from the Internet.
