Quantum Mechanics II (PHY4605) serves as an introduction to quantum mechanics. This is the second semester of a two-semester course. The topics in this semester include hydrogen atom, harmonic oscillator, perturbation theory, hyperfine structure and the addition of angular momenta, perturbation of hydrogen, identical particles, time-dependent perturbation theory, periodic systems, and modern applications of quantum mechanics. It is assumed that you have good knowledge of quantum mechanics I, introductory physics, introductory calculus and good working knowledge of differential equation and linear algebra.
