Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This course is designed to develop a familiarity and intuition for quantum mechanics, both time dependent and time independent. Emphasis on applications to spectroscopy and dynamics of large molecules, scattering theory, ultracold collisions, classical and semiclassical methods and their connection to quantum mechanics, decoherence theory and quantum measurement theory, and more topic to be determined by circumstance and student interests.
Recommended Prep
This should not be your first exposure to quantum mechanics but a good undergrad course in quantum mechanics and calculus plus some familiarity with differential equations is sufficient.
Available for Harvard Cross Registration
NOTE: This course requires additional sections; you will be prompted to choose secondary components during the Add to Cart process
