The aim of the course:
The objective of this course is that undergraduate students in Physics department describe the fundamental concepts in quantum mechanics and learn the application of these concepts.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : 1.Explain the fundemental concepts in basic formulation of wave mechanics . Discuss the fact that the eigenvalues of a Hermitian operators should be real. 1,2,31,
LO - 2 : Prove that there exists functions which are simultaneously eigenfunction of two commutative operators.1,2,31,
LO - 3 : Define the Bra-Ket notation .1,2,31,
LO - 4 : Explain the fundemental concepts in matrix mechanics 1,2,31,
LO - 5 : Demonstrate an understanding of finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix1,2,31,
LO - 6 : Define the matrix representation of an operator.1,2,31,
LO - 7 : Explain the Shrödinger and Heisenberg represantation, and apply them to harmonic oscillator problems.1,2,31,
LO - 8 : Define the lowering a and raising operator a+ in harmonic oscillator problem.1,2,31,
