Advanced Quantum Mechanics
7.5 ECTS creditsThis is an advanced level quantum mechanics course. The aim of the course is that the students acquire in-depth knowledge about the foundations of quantum mechanics, as well as skills in applying quantum mechanics in advanced problems. The course treats non-relativistic quantum mechanics, in detail and gives an introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics. Topics include: quantum dynamics, symmetries in quantum mechanics, the theory of ongular momentum, approximation methods, scattering theory and the Dirac equation.
