Welcome to the home page for Physics 212 which is the second half of Duke's year-long undergraduate sequence in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. Continuing from Physics 211 in the fall semester, Physics 212 completes the foundation of quantum mechanics and applies this foundation to a wealth of scientific problems drawn from atomic physics, particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed-matter physics, astrophysics, and chemistry. Further information is available from the course syllabus . The color corresponds to the number of atoms at each velocity, with red being the fewest and white being the most.
Areas appearing white and light blue indicate lower velocities.
