一、課程說明(Course Description)

This is a course on elementary quantum mechanics aiming for applications in
solid-state physics and optoelectronic devices. Emphasis is put on the basic
concepts and techniques, which will be applicable to solid state physics and
optical properties of semiconductors. A heuristic approach will be adopted to
introduce the basic concepts as well as the Schrodinger equation. We will soon
move to one-dimensional bound state problems. Extended state problems in one
dimension will also be explored. Algebraic operator method for simple harmonic
oscillator will be covered. We will then introduce angular momentum operators and
central potential problems. Time-independent and time-dependent perturbation
methods will be included. Finally, identical particles with focus on equilibrium
statistics will be introduced if time allows.

二、指定用書(Text Books)
Handouts and homeworks will be distributed.
