PHYS 8216 QUANTUM THEORY (3 credits)
The matrix operator formalism is covered along with philosophical implications of this approach. The methods developed will be applied to simple harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom potentials. Raising and lowering operators, creation-annihilation operators, and first and second order perturbation theory will be discussed. (Cross-listed with PHYS 4210)
Prerequisite(s): PHYS 4200 or permission.
