Applied Quantum Mechanics

The module will build upon PHYC30030. The following list of topics will be covered: Topics covered in this course include the time-dependent Schrodinger equation; the variational principle; position and momentum operators and representations (Fourier transforms); a complete treatment of the Stern-Gerlach experiment; spin; quantum dynamics; Heisenberg operators and equation of motion; two state quantum systems; spin precession in a magnetic field; ammonia molecule in an electric field, and the MASER (Nobel Prize work); nuclear magnetic resonance (Nobel Prize work); multiparticle states and tensor product; entangled states and quantum teleportation; EPR paradox and Bell Inequality.
