Application of QM in atomic and molecular physics, nuclear physics and solid state physics (including quantum harmonic oscillator)
Kinetic moment and spin
Approximation methods for complex systems
The students will be familiar with the notions of kinetic moment and spin. The applications of QM in atomic and molecular physics, nuclear physics and solid state physics will be addressed : harmonic oscillator, symetries, Hydrogen atoms, approximation methods.
The lecture propose an introduction at the use of kinetic moment and spin in quantum mechanics. It addresses also basics problem in physics : harmonic oscillator, symetries, hydrogen atom, approximation methods
I. Harmonic Oscillator in QM
II the Kinetic moment
III. The spin
IV. The Dirac equation
V. Composition of kinetic moment
VI.Multidimensional systems
VII. Density operator
VIII. Approximation methods: stationary
IX. Approximation methods: time dependent
Oral exams with preparation (50 %) during the exam session for theory
Written exams (50%) during the exam session for exercises
If one of the two grades is inferior to 8, the global exam is automatically considered failed (independently of the grade average).
A student that during the first session obtained a mark of a least 10/20 either for the exercises or for the entire theory part benefits from a partial exemption of either the exercises or the entire theory for the second exam session.
There is normally no partial exemption for one of the two parts of the theory (Y. Caudano or Y. Olivier parts) because these two parts are involved in the same learning activity ("activité d'apprentissage - AA"). The course holders allow for an exemption in their respective part of the theory for the second exam session in case a grade of 14/20 is obtained during the first session.
