|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Developing the intuition of how quantum systems behave.
Gaining experience in solving quantum mechanical problems beyond the standard QM course. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| An intermediate level quantum mechanics course similar to
PHYS0958-1 and PHYS0959-1. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Listening to lectures, solving problems, both in groups and independently. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| face-to-face |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Flugge, "Practical quantum mechanics", 2 volumes, can help solving certain problems. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Attendance 25%
Homework problems 75%
At the start of the course 5 homework problems will be given. They are to be solved at home during the semester and "defended" by every student at special sessions. |
