Quantum Physics
If quantum cosmologists can reconcile quantum mechanics with Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, we may be in for a wild ride, as scientists will finally have a single theory with the potential to describe all aspects of time and space in the universe. In short, we will be on our way to knowing the unknowable. Quite exciting, to say the least.
At the heart of quantum theory lies such ideas as the particle nature of waves, the wave-like properties of particles, the quantized energy levels of atoms, and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. It is from these fundamental assumptions about the natural world that we may be able to unlock its secrets through the development of a unified field theory.
A good course in quantum physics will take students through the following areas:
- The wave function
- Time-independent Schrodinger equation
- Formalism
- Quantum mechanics in three dimensions
- Identical particles
- Time-independent perturbation theory
- The variational principle
- The WKB approximation
- Time-dependent perturbation theory
- The adiabatic approximation
- Scattering
There are plenty of books on quantum physics to be found on Google and Amazon.com. There is also a nice collection of books and journals devoted to this area which students can find at the Springer website.
To fulfill our mission of educating students, our homework help and online tutoring centers are standing by 24/7, ready to assist students who need extra practice in quantum physics.
