This course will cover the experimental results that led to and verified quantum mechanics. Emphasis will be placed on both the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and the philosophical implications and alternatives to the theory. There is no lab for this course. Prerequisites are PHYS 2110 or permission of the instructor.
Homework is due at the beginning of class on the due date.
Collaboration is encouraged, but copying is not permitted. The final exam counts the same as one test. Your work will be reported to the class in the last week. The project may be research based in the literature, a computer program, or construction of an experimentally useful device.
