PHYS-504 Quantum Mechanics I

This course reviews special relativity and provides an introduction to quantum mechanics. It covers applications in nuclear and particle physics and develops key aspects of quantum theory via various extensions of the SternGerlach experiment. The course emphasizes the matrix mechanics approach to quantum mechanics. Use of software applications for visualization and problem solving is a key aspect. Prerequisites: a bachelor's degree with a physics major or be state certified (in any state) to teach Physics at a secondary school level, and PHYS-501 Note: This course is designed for those seeking the credentials required by many regional accrediting bodies in order to be able to teach advanced placement, concurrent early college, and community college Physics courses.
