Course Objective

Produce solutions for basic atomic systems by using the principles of quantum physics, Learn approaching methods to some physical systems that quantum methods cannot be resolved, learn some applications of Quantum Mechanics which are time-dependent and time independent perturbation theories, Variational Principle, WKB Approximation, and Adiabatic Theorem. Provide a basis for the current physical theories by gaining quantum mechanical point of view.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Understand some perturbation approaches to the quantum systems
2   Will be able to calculate the energy levels of fine structure of hydrogen, Zeeman Effect and Hyperfine splitting
3   Will be able to use variational principle in predicting the energies of ground
4   Understand the difference between Classical and Quantum approach to the physics problems such as Tunneling
5   To learn time-dependent and time-independent perturbation theories
6   Learn basic principles of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and solve Klein-Gordon and Dirac Equations
