MSE 543 - Quantum Mechanics for Engineers3 Credit Hours
Covers fundamentals of quantum mechanics using an approach suitable for engineering undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Topics will include mathematical preliminaries, Dirac notation, two-state systems, the Bloch sphere, the Schrödinger wave equation, operators and time evolution, the square well, the harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, angular momentum, and approximation methods. Students will be expected to complete several short writing projects in which they will link current developments in quantum computing and other quantum technologies to what they are learning in class.
Credit Restriction: Students cannot receive credit for both MSE 443 and MSE 543.
Recommended Background: Calculus, linear algebra, and physics taught at the level of Engineering Fundamentals.
