General Information

This course is a continuation of Quantum Mechanics II, using the textbook written by Professor Eric Carlson Quantum Mechanics. A link to Professor Carlson's Quantum Mechanics course is given at this LINK. Note that by request of Professor Carlson, the textbook is available to all WFU students and staff through this password controlled link. WFU students and staff are welcome to download the full pdf file of the textbook, but are requested to not distribute it outside of WFU. The course material for PHY 742 will start with Chapter 12 of the textbook, and some topics from Chapter 11 will also be covered. Students may also wish to consult the following additional texts:

*The schedule notes the "due" date for each assignment. Homeworks may be turned in 1 lecture past their due date without grade penalty. After that, the homework grade will be reduced by 10% for each succeeding late date. According to the honor system, all work submitted for grading purposes should represent the student's own best efforts. This means that students who work together on homework assignments should all contribute roughly equally and independently verify all derivations and results.
