Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents :
The course will treat of several advanced topics in quantum mechanics, depending on the interests of the students.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
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.
