Quantum Physics III: Course Description
This OpenCourseWare, the third in a series, aims at incorporating such advancements in the area of quantum mechanics. Professor Krishna Rajagopal covers a multitude of specific topics, which begin with natural units and degenerate Fermi systems. Students will survey time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, adiabatic approximation and quantum computing. This course is presented in lecture format and reinforces these concepts with a list of readings provided online. Students will also be able to work through homework assignments related to each topic. This OpenCourseWare also includes project instructions for a short research project. For this project, the reader will select a concept from either this course or 'Quantum Physics II' and formulate it into a paper to simulate the process of publishing his or her research. The course website recommends taking 'Experimental Physics I and II (Junior Lab)' concurrently with this OpenCourseWare.
Project instructions, homework assignments and the reading list are all offered online as free downloads. Students interested in this course should visit the Quantum Physics course home page.
