PHYS 481 - Quantum Mechanics

Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 0
When Offered: As Needed

Solutions to Schrödinger’s equation for translation, rotation, and vibration up through three dimensions. Operators and eigenvalues. Spherically symmetric systems (hydrogen-like atoms), multi-electron atoms, diatomics, polyatomics, and an overview of symmetry and group theory. Topics will be selected from spectroscopy, computational and numerical methods, and applied quantum mechanics. Same as CHEM 352
