EP-307 Introduction to Quantum Mechanics Method of Assessment Four surprise quiz of 10 marks each Tone of the course How and why? The merging of two different disciplines Linear Algebra Physical world Course on modern logic Enjoy the course– Let it be like Movie, Music, Swimming --- Whatever you like Contents of the course Couple of Lectures on why Quantum Mechanics? And then Just Shanker all the way Mathematical Introduction Linear Vector Spaces Dirac Notation Linear Operators Active and Passive transformations Eigenvalue problem Genralization to Infinite Dimensions Contents of the Course (contd..) The Postulates of Quantum Mechanics The Postulates Definition of the postulates The Schroedinger’s Equation Simple Problems in One Dimension The free particle The particle in a box Continuity Equation for probability Single Step Potential – a problem in scattering Contents of the Course (contd..) The Classical Limit Simple Harmonic Oscillator Why? Quantization Oscillator in energy basis Genralization of postulate II Gauge Invariance and choice of phase for wavefunction Contents of the Course (contd..) The Path Integral Formulation of Quantum theory The Path Integral Recipe An approximate U(t) for free particle Path Integral evaluation for free particl Symmetries and their Consequences Translational Invariance Time Translational Invariance Parity Invariance Time-Reversal Invariance Contents of the Course (contd..) Rotational Invariance Angular Momentum Translations in Two Dimensions Rotations in Two Dimensions The Eigenvalue Problem of L z Angular Momentum in 3 Dimensions Eigenvalue Problem of L2 LZ The Hydrogen Atom The Eigenvalue Problem The Degeneracy of the Hydrogen Spectrum The Beginning What is a Physical Law? A statement of nature which each experimenter must arrive at Experiments done in different frames must yield same results Describes the physical world Description is dynamic….. Why should truth be a function of time? Laws formulated
