Review & spin.

This week I would like to do some review of quantum in one-dimension, finish our work on hydrogen atom electron states, and then beginning our study of quantum spin. Our emphasis will be on spin 1/2, which is covered in Griffiths in section 4.4.1 and 4.4.3. We will be using 2x2 Pauli spin matrices and "spinor" notation. Comments and thoughts on what you would like to learn more about or review are welcome!

Midterm 2 solutions

Here are solutions to midterm 2. I see that I did not write it in the solutions, but it is helpful for sp2 type integrals to recall that \(\...

  • Square Well boundary conditions.
    This video shows how to use boundary conditions along with the time-independent Schrodinger equation
  • Discussion of problems 5 & 6, HW4.
    April 24: Thanks to some awesome work by students in this class, I have some information on wave-functions and their parameters for the 2-s...
  • HW 7 with solutions.
    Please turn in HW 7 to Michael Saccone's mailbox in the physics department mailroom by 6 PM on Monday,  May 20
