What is Advanced Quantum Physics about?

Quantum mechanics underpins a variety of broad subject areas within physics and the physical sciences from high energy particle physics, solid state and atomic physics through to chemistry. As such, the subject resides at the core of every physics programme. In the following, we list an approximate “lecture by lecture” synopsis of the different topics treated in this course. 1 Foundations of quantum physics: Overview of course structure and organization; brief revision of historical background: from wave mechan- ics to the Schr ̈odinger equation. 2 Quantum mechanics in one dimension: Wave mechanics of un- bound particles; potential step; potential barrier and quantum tunnel- ing; bound states; rectangular well; !-function potential well; Kronig- Penney model of a crystal. 3 Operator methods in quantum mechanics: Operator methods; uncertainty principle for non-commuting operators; Ehrenfest theorem and the time-dependence of operators; symmetry in quantum mechan- ics; Heisenberg representation; postulates of quantum theory; quantum harmonic oscillator. 4 Quantum mechanics in more than one dimension: Rigid diatomic molecule; angular momentum; commutation relations; raising and low- e
