PHYS 3602

(3 credits) 3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab This is an introductory course in quantum mechanics. The basic theory and formalism of quantum mechanics will be developed, followed by their application to a variety of model systems from atomic and molecular physics and chemistry, including a discussion of electron spin with reference to both single- and multi-electron atoms. The lab will consist of classic experiments in quantum mechanics and spectroscopy. Note: Credit for both Chemistry 3602 and Physics 3602 will not be allowed.
