This undergraduate course develops concepts in quantum mechanics that can be understood from a fundamental point of view. It provides a basis for further study of quantum mechanics as in previous semester Quantum Mechanics-I is already being offered to the students. The main emphasis of this course will be to understand the quantum concepts regarding angular momentum, solution of Schrodinger equation in three dimensions (Cartesian Coordinates, Spherical Coordinates, and Hydrogen Atom), approximation methods for stationary states, theory of scattering and identical particles.

Recommended Books: 

1. QUANTUM MECHANICS: Concepts and Applications by Nouredine Zettili, JOHN WILEY & SONS (2001)
2. Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by David J. Griffiths, PRENTICE Hall int. inc (2005)
3. Introductory Quantum mechanics by R.L. Liboff, Addison Wesley Publishing Company, Reading Mass (1980)
4. Quantum Mechanics, Classical Results, Modern Systems and Visualized Examples by Richard W. Robinett, Oxford University Press (2006)
5. The students are encouraged to consult any other quantum mechanics text book as recommended in the course outlines or any other relevant book at their own. Problems are most of the times given from these books.
