5.73 Intro Quantum Mechanics I
Fall 2010
Instructors: Christian Lukas Degen, Robert Guy Griffin
TA: Loren Andreas
Lecture: MWF9 (2-131)
Subject Description:
Fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics: wave properties, uncertainty principles, Schrodinger equation, and operator and matrix methods. Basic applications to: one-dimensional potentials (harmonic oscillator), three-dimensional centrosymetric potentials (hydrogen atom), and angular momentum and spin. Approximation methods: WKB method, variational principle, and perturbation theory.

5.73 Final exam information
Dear 5.73ers,
Here is some final information for the exam. The examination is pen and paper only, and no calculators or books will be needed (nor allowed). There is a one-page reference sheet with formulas attached to the exam that you will be able to use. The reference sheet is already uploaded on Steller and you can have a look at it beforehand, but don't bring it along (you will get a fresh one with the exam). Paper, pizza and soft drinks will be provided.
Good luck!
