EPL202 - Quantum Mechanics and Its Applications

This document outlines the topics covered in the course EPL202 - Quantum Mechanics and its Applications. The course will cover the formalism of quantum mechanics including state vectors, operators, the Schrodinger equation, and uncertainty principle. Specific topics will include bound and scattering states, the harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom, angular momentum, perturbation theory, and identical particles. If time permits, entanglement, qubits, macroscopic wave functions, and Bose-Einstein condensation may also be discussed. The course will be assessed through minor exams, a major exam, quizzes, and have a total pass mark of 40.
