FIZ 315E - Kuantum Mekaniği I

Dersin Amaçları

The course aims to give a basic understanding of quantum mechanics and its
formalism. We first introduce the basic concepts: Interpretation of the wavefunction, relation to proba-
bility, Schrödinger equation, Hermitian operators and inner products. We also discuss wave-packets, time
evolution, Ehrenfest theorem and uncertainty. Next, one-dimensional solutions of the Schrödinger equa-
tion are studied such as the infinite well, finite square well and harmonic oscillator. Then we will turn
to three-dimensional problems, the Schrödinger equation is reduced to a radial equation and the spherical
harmonics are introduced. The hydrogen atom is discussed in detail. Finally, We introduce the angular
momentum operators and derive their commutator algebra.
