Quantum mechanics governs the microscopic aspects of nature and is more fundamental than the classicalmechanics which is an approximate effective theory describing the macroscopic aspects of nature. This
course aims to develop solid understanding and basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, which is absolutely
necessary in various fields of modern physics.We start by introducing fundamental notions such as the wave
function and the Schrödinger equation, and familiarize ourselves with them by studying 1-dimensional
problems. Then, after developing the formalism of quantum mechanics, we discuss three dimensional
problems such as the hydrogen atom.

This unit is the first half of a full-year course. After learning the mathematical structure of thermodynamics
and why thermodynamics works with many examples of systems beyond the ideal gas -- students are
introduced toequilibrium statistical mechanics, which describes the equilibrium conditions of systems
consisting of a large number of particles. Applications are considered in condensed matter physics, solidstate physics, cosmology, chemistry,materials science and biology. Problem-solving is an integral part of thecourse: students should attend fortnightly tutorials (Physics Tutorial III) where they will discuss many of theassignment questions and receive hints forsolutions. Weaker students are particularly encouraged to attend
tutorials and submit assignments. This semester students are thoroughly prepared for quantum statisticalmechanics in SP3 next semester. It is recommended that students take Quantum Mechanics II
concurrently.At the end of Statistical Physics III next semester students will be adequately prepared withregards to their knowledge of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics to undertake further studies in Slab, R-lab, TB-lab, E-lab,H-lab, QG-lab and other, including experimental, labs in both the Department of
Physics and Department of Applied Physics, as well as chemistry and computational biology labs at Nagoya

John A. WOJDYLODesignated Professor______________________________________________________________________________●Course Purpose
This 2nd course in quantum mechanics is the first half of a full-year course. The goal is to enable students toattain a solid grasp of basic concepts. Underlying the teaching approach is the philosophy that in order tolearn well, learners must make it a habit to produce many simple calculations: in this way the mathematicallanguage becomes second nature and students learn not to be overwhelmed by mathematical symbols, and to
discern the simple physical principles expressed by them: students learn to express with ease their physicalintuition using mathematical language. This approach also instills critical thinking, as students make it ahabit to verify statements for themselves and not just believe everything they are told.The course consists ofthe equivalent of 15 lectures of examinable material, based on Shankar Chapters 1-10, which constitutes astandard one semester Year 3 topic coverage. In addition, a number of additional sessions will be offered to
explain new concepts step by step or to explore quantum phenomena that are easily within reach of the corematerial -- somewhat like seminars for interest. The intention is to help students grasp the abstract content in
the textbook, much of which strikingly contradicts classical intuition; and to see the amazing quantum
reality. Alternatively, students who wish to just pass the unit may choose to work through the two books by
Susskind, which cover the same topics (except for identical particles) in a far more elementary way, andsubmit a reasonable number of solved problems. The books by Susskind are written for people who have notpreviously learned physics. In this way, non-physics majors such as Biology students can learn concepts at
the forefront of physics, such as the path integral, which is useful for computational treatments of theprotein-folding problem, opening the possibility of their entry into physics labs such as the computational
biology lab in the Department of Physics. Lectures are usually recorded and most of them are available on
Youtube (private channel).seehttps://syllabus.sci.nagoya-u.ac.jp/detail/20190680430/●Prerequisite Subjects

Poisson brackets. Continuous symmetries. Generators of infinitesimal transformations. Angular momentumis the generator of infinitesimal rotations. Linear momentum is the generator of infinitesimal translations.
The Hamiltonian is the generator of infinitesimal time translations. The PB of the Hamiltonian with thegenerator determines a conservation law if G generates a transformation that leaves the total energy
invariant. (Susskind1)Lecture 3. [0.75] Canonical Transformations: transformations of phase spacecoordinates (not necessarily infinitesimal) that leave "the physics" unchanged. They map trajectories (i.e. asolution of the equations of motion) into physically equivalent (e.g. rotated) trajectories. (Shankar,
Goldstein) NONEXAMINABLE: passive and active transformations. (Shankar, Goldstein)Optional Lecture
3B. A closer look at: canonical transformations; generators of infinitesimal canonical transformations;symmetry and conservation laws; classical Liouville's Theorem. Phase space is like a flowing
incompressible fluid. The flow is a symmetry transformation generated by the Hamiltonian. (Goldstein Ch 8̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲̲

eigenvalues. Orthogonality of eigenspaces belonging to different eigenvalues. Hermitian operators have real
eigenvalues. The concept of "observable": e.g., the projection operator. (Cohen-Tannoudji, Chapter2)Lecture 6B. [1] Mathematical Tools of QM. Simultaneous diagonalization of two Hermitian operators:
non-degenerate case; degenerate case. Block diagonal matrix. Functions of operators: differentiation,
integration. Two useful, easy theorems. (Cohen-Tannoudji, Chapter 2; Shankar)Lecture 7. [0.5]Mathematical Introduction. Some operators in infinite dimensions: X and K operator matrix elements in X
and K bases. Commutation operator [X,K]. Hermiticity in infinite dimensions: necessary and sufficientconditions. (Domain of unbounded operators.) NONEXAMINABLE: Meaning of diagonalization of
Hermitian operators: normal modes/stationary states. Example: two masses on three springs in one

Variational Method and WKB Approximation; Time-independent perturbation theory (non-degenerate anddegenerate cases); Time-dependent perturbation theory; introduction to scattering theory.Students will beadequately prepared with regards to their knowledge of quantum mechanics to undertake further studies in
S-lab, E-lab, H-lab, R-lab, TB-lab and other, experimental labs in both the Department of Physics andDepartment of Applied Physics at Nagoya University. A knowledge of the principles is essential for students
interested in experimental physics and theoretical physics. Students from other disciplines, such as
chemistry, can also benefit from the deep treatment of quantum phenomena.
