PHY 3020U – Quantum Mechanics I

The Schrödinger equation and its solutions for various potentials is explored in detail, including the infinite square well, the simple harmonic oscillator, and the finite square well. The formalism of quantum mechanics is introduced, along with the generalized statistical interpretation. The proper treatment of the hydrogen atom is developed, leading to an examination of angular momentum and spin, as well as identical particles.
