Upper Division

Prerequisites
MATH 134 and PHYSI 060.

Introduction to the theoretical foundations of quantum theory. Using the Schrödinger and Heisenberg formulations of the harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, the theory of quantized angular momentum and scattering are studied. The concepts of Hilbert space, operators, commutation relations and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle are included.
