Competencies

Non-official translation of the module descriptions. Only the German version is legally binding.

The students have acquired basic technical knowledge and skills in advanced quantum mechanics for theoretical physics. In particular, students recognise in-depth connections to previously acquired facts of theoretical quantum mechanics and are able to transfer and apply these to other, deeper physical problem areas. Students also expand their physical intuition as a result of a more intensive examination.

Content of teaching

The starting point of this course are the basics of quantum mechanics including the concept of operators, the uncertainty principle, the Schrödinger equation and the solution of simple problems covered in the lecture Quantum mechanics.
After a brief recapitulation of these aspects, the interactions with electromagnetic fields are discussed and perturbation theory is explained in more detail. Time-dependent processes and elements of scattering theory are discussed in detail and symmetries in quantum mechanics are treated in general. Finally, the path integral formalism and elements of relativistic quantum mechanics are introduced.

Study requirements

Allocated examiner Workload LP2
Teaching staff of the course Quantum mechanics 2 (exercise)

Regular completion of the exercises (usually 50%), in each case with a recognisable and goal-oriented solution approach, as well as participation in the exercise groups (in particular: Presentation of own solutions or solution approaches, asking technical questions and critical discussion of the physical problems, working on attendance exercises).
The exercises to be worked on will be issued one week in advance. The lecturer determines the exact criteria at the beginning of the course and announces them.
