The Wolverhampton Lectures of Physics

QUANTUM PHYSICS

The further-Quantum Mechanics part of the Wolverhampton Lectures of Physics bring the theory to higher-dimensions, both in space (harmonic oscillator in 2D, hydrogen atom in 3D) and in phase-space (many-particle systems). It also introduces the main techniques to solve actual problems (variational principle, perturbation theory, etc.) and prepares the grounds for next year's Modern Physics where technological applications of the theory are studied.
