Introductory Note Quantum mechanics has changed the way we understand the nature and behavior of atoms and their constituents. In turn, this understanding has made possible a technological revolution of unprecedented scope. In this course, we will consider both the philosophy and practice of modern quantum mechanics. As you know by now, attendance and active participation in class are essential to success in physics courses.
Homework is the most important component of the course.
As such, your write-ups should reflect a considerable investment of your time in crafting detailed, and complete solutions . Solutions should consist of sufficient explanatory detail to make it clear that you understand the mathematics and concepts. The mathematics should be logically developed in a clear and complete sequence of steps. Problems will be assigned and collected on a weekly basis. Late homework is generally not accepted so that solutions may be made available in a timely manner.
