Catalog Description:  A continuation of the study of quantum mechanics incuding statistical mechanics, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, and scattering.  Prerequisite;  PHYS 447.  Offered in the spring semester of even numbered years.  One semester; three credits.

Text:  Stephen Gasiorowicz, Quantum Physics, Third Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.,

Objectives:  This second course will build on the knowledge and problem solving techniques that were introducted in PHYS 447 Quantum Mechanics I.  We will analyze more complicated quantum phenomena with advanced techniques and explore modern applications of quantum theory. 

Topics:
     Time Independent Perturbation Theory:  Perturbed Eigenstates, Stark Effect
     Hydrogen Atom:  Relativistic Effects, Spin-Orbit Coupling, Hyperfine Structure
     Many Particle Systems:  Two Particle System, Identical Particles, Exclusion
     Time Dependent Perturbation:  Phase Space
     Charged Particles in an Electromagnetic Field
     Radiative Decays
     Collision Theory:  Scattering, Born Approximation
