PHYS 24 Quantum Physics of Matter: An Introduction

The theme of this course is the application of the principles of physics to the structure of matter on various scales. The Schrödinger equation is discussed in three spatial dimensions, with emphasis on the description of hydrogenic wavefunctions. Spin and the Pauli exclusion principle. Applications may include many-electron atoms, molecules, solids, nuclei and elementary particles. (NOTE: Renumbered to Physics 40 with description change; last offering of 24 is 15S.)
