Learning Outcomes
Competences
After successfully completing the course, students are able to describe and explain the basic terminology, assumptions and theories from the listed areas of quantum mechanics, and apply them to specific physical systems.

This lecture is methodically complemented by the exercise Theoretische Quantenmechanik I.

Skills Knowledge
Upon completing the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to

  • understand and explain basic concepts and computational methods in quantum mechanics (k1/k2);
  • formulate and interpret theoretical concepts in quantum mechanics in a precise and analytical way (k3);
  • transfer the theoretical concepts of quantum mechanics to concrete physical systems (k3/k4).
During the course, students acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of quantum mechanics:

  • wave-particle dualism of light and matter;
  • statistical interpretation of the wave function;
  • eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of operators;
  • Heisenberg's uncertainty principle for observables;
  • Schrödinger equation;
  • continuity equation;
  • time evolution operator;
  • harmonic oscillator;
  • fundamentals of representation theory;
  • hydrogen atom;
  • electron spin;
  • perturbation theory.
