PHYS 351 - Quantum Mechanics II


Units: 3
Topics of study include the general theory of angular momentum and addition of angular momentum, entanglement, three-dimensional potentials, the hydrogen atom, and approximation methods in quantum mechanics with an emphasis on time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory.

Prerequisites: PHYS 350.
Possible Instructional Methods: On-ground.
Grading: A-F or CR/NC (student choice).
Course Typically Offered: Variable Intermittently
