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.

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.
