PHY 304 - Quantum Mechanics

3 credits
In response to Albert Einstein’s famous assertion that “God does not play dice,” Niels Bohr responded that Einstein should “stop telling God what he can and cannot do.” In this course we will study the puzzling, yet highly successful, quantum theory of matter. Topics will include Schrödinger’s wave equation and the quantum theory of light, atoms, molecules and solids. This course is cross-listed with CHE 342. 3 lec.
