Course Objective

The aim of the course is to give the quantum description of concepts such as identical particles, as well as to gain the ability to use quantum mechanical principles and some approximation methods such as time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theories, variational principle and WKB approach in the solution of realistic problems in atom, molecule, solid state and nuclear physics.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Learning how to apply approximation methods to the quantum systems
2   To learn time-independent perturbation theory
3   To learn degenerate time-independent perturbation theory
4   To be able to calculate the energy levels of fine structure of hydrogen, Zeeman Effect and Hyperfine splitting
5   To be able to use Variational principle in predicting the ground state energies of atoms and molecules
6   To learn the ground state calculations of Helyum atom, Hidrogen Ion, etc.
7   To learn WKB approximation
8   To learn time-dependent perturbation theory
