Quantum Mechanics I

Course DirectorySNHU PHY330 has 1 direct prerequisite, with 11 courses in its complete prerequisite tree, and is required by 1 other course.

Undergraduate · 3 credits

This course gives the student an introduction to quantum mechanics, the study of matter and energy on very small scales. Students learn about the origins of quantum theory and its experimental basis. We cover wave mechanics, the harmonic oscillator, the one dimensional Schrodinger equation, Schrodinger equation in three dimensions, one electron atoms, angular momentum, and spin.
