| module number | 201370 |
| department | Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences |
| ID of group | 2421 (Theoretical Physics I) |
| module leader | Prof. Dr. Erich Runge |
| language | Englisch |
| term | Wintersemester |
| previous knowledge and experience | Mathematical lectures and knowledge of physics from the joint engineering foundation course, contents of the module "Theoretical Physics 1". |
| learning outcome | Students are able to apply basic mathematical methods of physics to concrete problems. Students understand quantum mechanics as the basis of the modern physical world view. In addition, students gain an overview of the possibilities of advanced quantum mechanics. They can generalize the lecture material to related problems and are able to recognize the underlying physical principles. They have the technical skills to work on relevant problems in writing and can discuss the topics of the lecture orally. |
| content | Quantization, wave aspects of matter, mathematical foundations, Schrödinger equation, potential wells and barrier, harmonic oscillator, correspondence principle, hydrogen atom, angular momentum, spherical surface functions, Hilbert space, philosophical aspects, spin, as well as an overview of the many-body Schrödinger equation, coupling to electromagnetic fields, systems of indistinguishable particles, perturbation theory and approximation methods, scattering theory; outlook on quantum information and relativistic quantum mechanics. |
| media of instruction and technical requirements for education and examination in case of online participation | mainly blackboard, also beamer presentation and handouts |
| literature / references | There is a large number of German and English-language textbooks, e.g. W. Nolting: Grundkurs Theoretische Physik /1 und 5/2 (Springer); W. Greiner: Theoretische Physik, Quantenmechanik (Harry Deutsch); F. Schwabl: Quantenmechanik für Fortgeschrittene (Springr); U. Scherz: Quantenmechanik (Teubner); J. J.
