Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process of this subject has been designed on the following bases:

The suggested teaching-learning methodologies in order to reach the proposed objectives and acquiring the competences are:

* Master classes, present to the students the basic theoretical knowledge to reach themselves the associated technical competences  (CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4, CE5, CE6, CE10).

* Solving problems. That allows the acquistion of the technical competences from a practical point of view  (CE1, CE2, CE3, CE5, CE6, CE10).

* Laboratory experiments. That allows the acquistion of the technical competences from a practical point of view (CE7, CE8, CE9).

* Examination covering the whole matter, to evaluate the degree of acquisition of all competences and objectives.

The competences CE are defined in the "memoria de verificación" (verification memory) for the "Grado en Física" (Grade in Physics), what can  be seen in

5.3. Syllabus

0. Introduction. ¿What is, and why to study Quantum Physics?

1. Origin of the Quantum Theory. Corpuscular properrties of waves.

2. Wave properties of free particles. Atomic models and the de Broglie hypothesis.

3.Particles under external conservative forces. The Srödinger equation.. Some simple examples in 1D.

4. The quantum harmonic oscillator.

5. The Dirac formalism. Soace of states. Kets and bras. The posutulates of Quantum mechanics.

6. Physical contents of the formalism.

7. Angular moment. Central potentials. Hydrogen atom.

8. Addition of angular momenta. Clebsch-Gordan coeficients.

5.4. Course planning and calendar

The distribution of the different programmed activities, acocordint to the credits is as follows:

Face sessions. 60 face sessions will be held. 45of them  corresponding the activity "Acquisition of knowledge on the subject",

and 15 corresponding to thefarmtive  activity "Solving problems related to the contents of the subject.". 3 laboratory sessions

will be held, corresponding to the formative activity "Observation, analysis and experimental measurement of quantum phenomena", 

including 10 hours of non-face work. The prpeparation of report about the experiments in the laboratory will take 14 hours approximately.

The remaining non-face work of the subject (solving problems and studying) is estimated in about 87 total hours. The examination will be held on the date selected by the "Facultad de Ciencias" (Faculty of Science).
