Course objectives

This is an introductory course in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics.
Main objectives can be summarized as follows: to master the basic mathematical tools used in quantum mechanics; to understand the concept of probability amplitude and wavefunction; to be able to solve Schroedinger equation in simple situations (potential wells, steps and barriers, harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom); to be able to apply approximative methods (perturbation theory, variation method) in the simplest situations.

Learning outcomes

After passing the course the students should be able to:
- formulate simple physical problems on the quantum mechanical level
- solve the formulated problems using Schrodinger equation and/or its approximations

Syllabus

• I. Introduction
• 1. Concepts in the physics of microscopic phenomena: discreteness, wave-particle dualism, uncertainty, complementarity, superposition.
• 2. One-particle wave mechanics: de Broglie waves, Schroedinger equation, general properties of its solutions in the one-dimensional case, particle in a rectangular potential well, tunneling through a square potential barrier, mention of applications in the field of semiconductor nanostructures.
• 3. Probability interpretation of the wave function and of its Fourier transform, mean values of functions of the position and the momentum, position-momentum uncertainty relation.
• 4. Examples of systems of a finite dimension and a sketch of their quantum mechanical description (particle with a few discrete levels available, spin, polarization state of the electromagnetic radiation).
• II. Formalism
• 1. Abstract Hilbert space, state vectors and their representations, linear operators and their representations, hermitean operators and their properties.
• 2. Postulates of the quantum mechanics concerning the description of the state of a system, dynamical variables, and measurement; uncertainty relations in the general case, complete sets of commuting operators.
• 3. Evolution in time: Schroedinger equation in the general case, Heisenberg representation, connections with classical physics (Ehrenfest theorem, Classical limit of the Schroedinger equation), stationary case.
• III. Applications
• 1. The Harmonic oscillator: solution of the problem by the algebraic method involving the creation and annihilation operators, energy spectrum and wave functions, limit of large quantum numbers, mention of applications in the theory of black-body radiation and in the theory of the dynamics of the nuclei.

Course objectives

Introductory course in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics.
Main objectives can be summarized as follows: to master the basic mathematical tools used in quantum mechanics; to understand the concept of probability amplitude and wavefunction; to be able to solve Schroedinger equation in simple situations (potential wells, steps and barriers, harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom); to be able to apply approximative methods (perturbation theory, variation method) in the simplest situations; to learn about identical particles and basics of quantum information (entangled states, quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation and cloning).

Syllabus

• Motivation for quantum mechanics (unusual behaviour of small objects, insufficiency of classical mechanics and the need of quantum mechanics, applications in technology, chemical bond, consequences for human life).
• Connection between classical and quantum mechanics and its analogy with connection between geometrical and wave optics.
• The concept of probability amplitude and wavefunction (event and its probability amplitude, superposition principle, wavefunction as the probability amplitude of finding a particle at a given point).
• Hilbert space, quantum states and operators, scalar product and its physical meaning, physical quantities as Hermitian operators, expectation values of operators.
• Coordinate representation (states of a particle on a line, wavefunction, position operator and its eigenstates, Dirac delta function, momentum operator, transition between coordinate and momentum representations).
• Uncertainty relations (their derivation in general, application to position and momentum and to angular momentum components, wave packets).
• Schroedinger equation (Hamilton operator, stationary states, time evolution of a general state).
• One-dimensional problems (discrete and continuous spectrum of energy, reflection on a potential barrier, well and step, tunneling effect).
• Harmonic oscillator (algebraic approach, creation and annihilation operator, energy spectrum, applications - photons, phonons, Planck radiation law).
• Angular momentum (non-commutativity of 3D rotations and components of angular momentum, ladder operators, integer and half-integer angular momentum, spin).
• Hydrogen atom (separation of variables in spherical coordinates, solution of the angular and radial parts, energy eigenvalues, degeneracy).
• Approximative methods (stationary non-degenerate, degenerate and non-stationary perturbation theory, probability of transition, Fermi golden rule, variation method and its applications).
• Identical particles (change of state under permutation of particles, bosons and fermions, Slater determinant, Pauli principle, Fermi energy).
• Basics of quantum information (quantum entanglement, Bell states, measurement and state collapse, very briefly quantum cryptography, teleportation, cloning and quantum computers).
