Course Description

Part II of a year -long course sequence in quantum mechanics for first-year graduate students in physics and other fields. Completion of Phys 5001 will be assumed. This course will include such topics as electron spin, the addition of angular momentum, rotations and tensor operators, systems of identical particles and second quantization, multi-electron atoms, and the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations. This course will include such topics as the hydrogen atom, spin, addition of angular momentum, rotations and tensor operators, variational and WKB methods, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, scattering theory, and the Dirac equatio
