This course builds upon the foundations of quantum mechanics presented in PHYS 302. Topics include: the quantum mechanics of identical particles, addition of spin and angular momentum, Dirac notation, time dependent and independent perturbative approaches, and scattering. These topics will be presented using a combination of the Schrodinger, Heisenberg, and interaction formulation of quantum mechanics. This course is strongly recommended for students planning to attend graduate school in physics.
