Knowledge of the basics of quantum theory for further studies in all areas of modern physics.

Perturbation Theory; Symmetries in Quantum mechanics; Measurement and density operator; Scattering theory; Quantum mechanics of many-body systems; Scattering theory; Relativistic quantum mechanics;

The first lecture  will take place on Thursday, Oct. 1st at 9 a.m. in lecture hall 6 (Freihaus building).

The tutoria take place every second week (dates: 16.10./30.10./13.11./27.11./11.12./8.1.).

An online registration for this course in TISS is compulsory (till Thu. 8.10., 1 pm).

Two written exams on November, 20th 2015 (4 to 7 pm) and on January, 15th 2016 (4 to 7 pm) make up for 75% of the final grade. In addition, the points from the tutoria ("Kreuzerlübung", 15%) and from the plena (short unannounced tests, 10%) will be taken into consideration.

To pass the course 3 criteria have to be fulfilled:

(1) at least 50% total points,

(2) at least 20% of the points at each of the two written exams,

(3) at least 50% of the examples given in the tutorium must have been marked with a cross

Lecture notes for this course are available. The lecture slides will be uploaded to the e-learning platform TUWEL after the lecture.
