Lernergebnisse
Kompetenzen
(*)Upon successful completion of the course, students are able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles and established concepts of time-dependent quantum mechanics, covering the areas listed below. They can describe limitations and advantages of approximation and perturbation theories and are able to set up and solve quantum mechanical problems involving time-dependent Hamiltonians.

This lecture is methodologically complemented by the exercise Theory of Quantum Dynamics.

Fertigkeiten Kenntnisse
(*)Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to

  • explain and summarize key models used to describe time evolution in quantum mechanics (k1/k2);
  • derive approximate solutions to the dynamics of initial value problems in quantum mechanics (k4);
  • validate and critically discuss the range of validity of different approximations used in quantum mechanics (k5).
(*)During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of quantum dynamics:

  • time-evolution operators and propagators;
  • wave packet propagation and coherent states;
  • time-dependent interactions;
  • adiabatic and sudden perturbations;
  • connection between classical and quantum mechanics;
  • interaction of electromagnetic waves with quantized objects;
  • connection of classical and quantum mechanics.
