Annotation -
Quantum mechanics has a fundamental importance in the study of material fields. It allows to understand the behavior of very small objects ranging from from nanostructures to single atoms and even subatomic objects. It represents a way to formulate laws describing the phenomena in materials and apply them to the understanding of new ones. The course focuses on understanding the apparatus of quantum mechanics and its application in the study of fundamental problems of microcosm.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

Explain basic relations and operations with operators in the coordinate representation.

Apply mathematical tools needed to solve quantum-mechanics problems of microsystems, build the appropriate Schrödinger equation.

Solve the basic problems arising from the approximation of quantum-mechanical harmonic oscillator.

Present quantum-mechanical solution of particle in the field of central forces.
