PHYS 443 - Quantum Mechanics I
Basic postulates of quantum mechanics. Mathematical formalism of the theory and its physical interpretation. Schrödinger's time-dependent and time-independent equations. Single particle in a potential field (square well, potential barrier, harmonic oscillator, Kronig-Penney, Coulomb) and rigid rotator. The applicability of these potentials to atomic, molecular, nuclear, and solid state physics will be indicated.
