You will be introduced to quantum mechanics and will see why it is needed to explain outcomes of experiments; you will learn to make qualitative and quantitative analysis of situations in which quantum mechanics must be invoked; you will use modern computing tools (Mathematica) to make quantum mechanical calculations; and you will hone your skills at performing analytical calculations to predict and analyze physical phenomena. Topics will include wave-particle duality, photons, Schrodinger wave mechanics, hydrogen atom, multielectron atoms, and the quantum approach to angular momentum. Additional application areas may include molecular spectra, lasers, and quantum statistics.
