Jean-René Cudell
Language(s) of instruction :
English language
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Course contents :
The course will treat of several advanced topics in quantum mechanics, depending on the interests of the students.
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.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
An intermediate level quantum mechanics
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.
