The overall aim of the course is to provide an in-depth knowledge of quantum mechanics, which all physicists should have regardless of whether they are engaged in theoretical or experimental physics, since quantum mechanics is the basis of all modern physics. The course covers both theory and applications. Furthermore, it includes a project that gives training in some application of different fields in physics.

The course covers the formulation of quantum mechanics in terms of operators and state vectors. The course covers the Schrödinger equation, identical particles, continuous spectra, the Heisenberg picture, angular momentum and symmetries as well as approximation methods. Applications are made on simple systems e.g. two-level systems, quantum dots, atomic nuclei, Bose-Einstein condensates or system in external fields.
Grading scale: TH - (U, 3, 4, 5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Assessment takes the form of a written exam at the end of the course as well as orally and in writing in the form of a project during the course.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
