PHY 331Intro to Quantum Mechanics3
introduction to Quantum Mechanics: Quantum mechanics is a subject of great interest for physicists, chemists and scientists in general. The concepts, techniques, and theory of quantum mechanics are important and foundational in many areas of engineering, science and modern technology such as materials science, nanotechnology, spectroscopy, atomic and molecular structure, and photonics. This course is a mathematical introduction to quantum mechanics and its applications. Topics covered will include the basics of atomic spectroscopy, measurement theory, and the bizzare quantum paradoxes. Corequisite: None.
Astronomy and Astrophysics: A course in astronomy and astrophysics. Topics covered include observing the universe, solar systems and their development, the life cycles of stars and galaxies, non-stellar objects, and cosmology. Includes a lab that meets once per week. Students must be available for occasional observational labs at night. Corequisite: PHY 341L. instructor. Lab fee applies. (Offered as needed.)
Advanced Topics in Physics: This course provides the opportunity for a faculty member and a group of interested students to study an advanced subject that may not be offered on a regular basis in the curriculum. Topics are announced as offered. May be repeated for credit under different subtitles, but total credits may not exceed eight hours. Prerequisites and credit hours vary with the topic and course taught but will generally require the completion of PHY 212. (Offered as needed.)
