Lecture Notes

• Lecture 7, Oct 17: Hydrogen-like atom

• Lecture 6, Oct 15: Symmetry

  • Addition: A note added in page 9.—6:39PM, Oct 14, 2013

  • Correction: Section 6.3.3 is revised, to explicitly add vector notations for the angular momentum vectors, and an important correction: “total spin” → “total angular momentum” in the second paragraph.—4:46PM, Oct 10, 2013

• Lecture 5, Oct 10: Time-independent perturbation—examples for the degenerate case—and Symmetry

• Lecture 4, Oct 8: Time-independent perturbation: examples for the non-degenerate case and the theory for the degenerate case

  • Addition: Footnote 4: the word “topology” is added to reflect many recent research results on topological effects.—4:23PM, Oct 10, 2013

• Lecture 3, Oct 3: Perturbation theory (time-independent, non-degenerate)

• Lecture 2, Oct 1: Representation, Symmetry

  • Change: Page 14: Notations in the Bart box are consistent with the lecture, now.—1:33PM, Oct 03, 2013
