The Schrodinger equation and its implications are discussed for several important quantum systems, including the quantum harmonic oscillator and one-electron atoms. Further topics include barrier-penetration, angular momentum in quantum mechanics, spin, and time-independent perturbation theory. The tutorial will develop problem solving skills and techniques using modern tools. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 1 Tutorial hoursPrerequisite(s): PHYS 252.3 Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): MATH 331.3 or MATH 339.3 Note: Students with credit for PHYS 381 will not receive credit for this course.
