Postulates of quantum mechanics and mathematical formalism; one-dimensional problems; the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator; Heisenberg uncertainty relations; many-particle systems of bosons and fermions; symmetries in quantum mechanics; angular momentum and the hydrogen atom.
Notes
This is a one semester course taught at the graduate level; however, the material covered does not correspond entirely with the material taught in the first semester of the one year Quantum Mechanics course offered at Vanderbilt University or other institutions.
