Course Objectives		1. Understand the fact that there is also indeterminism in nature to the contrary of our previous knowledge and to enhance our perception about the difference between macro and micro universes 2. When one considers the mathematical essentials of quantum mechanics, to teach the students how modern mathematical techniques can be used in physical theories. 3. To understand how physical events can be explained successfully in Quantum Mechanics which can not be explained by Classical Mechanics.
Course Description		Historical Progress, Matter and Wave, Uncertainty Principle, Postulates and Wave Function of Quantum Mechanics (Operators, Eigenvalue-Eigenfunction, ProbabilityNormalization, Expectation Value, Momentum Space, Commutator, Dirac Notation), Schrödinger Equation (Time dependent-independent, Relativistic), One Dimensional Systems (Applications), Harmonic Oscillator, Formalism (Vectors, Inner Product, Linear Transformation, Eigenvectors, Hermitian Transformation, Gram-Schmidt Procedure, Hilbert Space, Parity-Trace Operators), Three Dimensional Systems (Schrödinger Equation in Spherical Coordinates, Applications)
Course Outcomes		Students who passed the course satisfactorily learn: I. Quantum mechanics which is at the root of the micro universe is probabilistic and the essential rule which governs the micro universe is the uncertainty principle II. The measurements in the micro universe show probabilistic character and the calculation of probability by the using the wave function given by the postulates of quantum mechanics III. The Schrödinger equation is the main equation and postulate of quantum mechanics IV. Make calculations in one dimensional systems by using the concepts of quantum mechanics V. The main mathematical framework in quantum mechanics VI. The solutions of transcendental differential equations that supply postulates of quantum mechanics for spherical symmetric potentials in three dimensional systems VII. To apply quantum mechanics calculations in physical problems
