| Inhalt | The lecture represents a first course in quantum mechanics. It goes well beyond phenomenology: wave mechanics, i.e., the Schrödinger equation, will be presented along with solutions to famous and important problems. Once some working knowledge of wave mechanics has been acquired, the main postulates of quantum mechanics will be presented, introducing the widely-used Dirac notation. The Pauli exclusion principle will be introduced, with applications to the electronic structure of atoms and metals. Some basic quantum optics will also be included along with the concept of entanglement, also some examples in contemporary quantum technology. Topics: Particle as wave Wave as particle Schrödinger equation and the wave function Square well Superposition and measurement Harmonic oscillator Tunneling Schrödinger equation in two- and three-dimensions Postulates of quantum mechanics Angular momentum Spin Multi-electron systems: Pauli exclusion principle Exchange Fermi energy of a metal Quantum optics Entanglement Qubit |
| Lernziele | The main goal is for students to acquire a deep understanding of introductory quantum mechanics and to become fluent in solving basic problems. This will act as a foundation for further subject-specific material in subsequent courses. |
| Literatur | The lecture will use one main book: Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 3rd Edition, David J. Griffiths and Darrell F. Schroeter [Cambridge University Press] The lecture will use the same notation as this book, and will follow a very similar structure. This book presents the theory in a clear and comprehensive way. It is however a theory book and some experimental examples will be included using other sources. |
| Bemerkungen | The lectures take place in the New Lecture Room, Department of Physics, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 13:15-15:00, starting in the first week of the semester. 4 credit points are available. They will be awarded on the basis of a written exam which will take place in January. The lectures are accompanied by a problem class. Solving problems is very important to become familiar with the subject material. Three problem classes are organised each week, each with an expert tutor. |
| Teilnahmevoraussetzungen | Previous knowledge of quantum mechanics is not required. Some mathematics is however essential, notably some understanding of differential equations, complex numbers, linear algebra, vectors and matrices. |
