Physics 610 The Spring 2006 Story

Class webpage: www.physics.sdsu.edu/~mbromley/teaching/phys610spri2006/

Classroom:  P-149

Times:   Mondays, Wednesdays, 5:30-6:45pm

Prerequisite:  Physics 610. [so, indirectly you will be expected to have done Phys 350 (classy mech), Math 342B (methods in applied math), and {Phys 354 (modern phys) OR Chem 610A (physical chem)}].

Lecturer:  Dr. Michael Bromley

My office:  P-139

Email:   mbromley@physics.sdsu.eduZZZ

I will be in my office for two hours (3pm-5pm) before each class dedicated to Physics 610 help. For other times send me an email to see if/when i'm in (esp. Tuesdays / Thursdays).

Syllabus is now up. We probably won't cover everything that's in the Schedule :
"Physical and mathematical basis of quantum mechanics. Wave mechanics and the Schroedinger Equation, matricies and Hilbert space, angular momentum and spin, atomic structure, bound-state perturbation theory, many particle systems, transition rates and time-dependent perturbation theory, scattering, and relativistic quantum mechanics."

The stuff that isn't covered will be covered and more in Physics 610B

Textbook is required: Principles of Quantum Mechanics, R. Shankar (2nd edition) based on chapters 1,4,5,7,12,13,14,16,17 and, if time, bits of 18.
(optional: Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (2nd edition) David J. Griffiths, also recommended Modern Quantum Mechanics J.J. Sakurai).

Lecture notes:

I try (most of the time) to get my lecture notes up here the day before each class.
See the timeline, and click on each lecture link.
