Hours
3.0 Credit, 3 Lecture, 0 Lab
Prerequisites
Nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, with applications.
Spinors
Use the spinor formalism to describe physical spin and two-level systems.
Quantum Angular Momentum
Extend quantum theory to three dimensions using the machinery of angular momentum for systems with spherical symmetry.
Quantum Dynamics
Compute the dynamical evolution of quantum systems and convert results between the different representations of quantum theory.
Coupled Systems
Solve problems involving the coupling of independent quantum systems, including identical particles, and be able to give their quantum information content.
