DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES:-

This course develops concepts in quantum mechanics such that the behavior of the physical universe can be understood from a fundamental point of view. It provides a basis for further study of quantum mechanics. The students will able to apply principles of quantum mechanics to calculate observables on known wave functions. apply the variational method, time-independent perturbation theory and time-dependent perturbation theory to solve simple problems. Combine spins and angular momenta.
