Physics 4Q03 Lecture 01. This lecture reviews several topics usually already encountered in earlier courses such as fundamental units, Dirac's bra and ket notation for quantum mechanics, the…
|
|
Physics 4Q03 Lecture 02. This lecture describes several issues associated with multiple-particle states in quantum mechanics, including the classification of all particles as bosons or fermions and…
|
|
Physics 4Q03 Lecture 03: This lecture provides the foundation of much of what follows: the definition and properties of creation and annihilation operators. These operators provide a basis in terms…
|
|
Physics 4Q03 Lecture 04: This lecture extends the notions of creation and annihilation operators to fermions, and derives the anticommutation algebra that these satisfy. The lecture also sketches out…
|
|
Physics 4Q03 Lecture 05: This lecture reviews the formalisms of time-independent and time-dependent Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory for quantum mechanics.
|
|
Physics 4Q03 Lecture 06: This lecture uses the results for time-dependent perturbation theory to calculate transition rates in terms of the matrix elements of the interaction Hamiltonian, culminating…
|
|
Physics 4Q03 Lecture 07: This lecture applies Fermi's Golden Rule to evaluate the rate for photon emission by an excited atom. This example is also used to illustrate the phenomenon of…

Wilson to Lindblad: Late-time Obstacles to Reliable Calculations with Horizons (and how Open EFTs can help). This talk describes how Open Effective Field Theories can be used to deal with the…
|
|
4Q03 Lecture 08: This lecture continues to convert Fermi's Golden Rule to continuum normalization, doing so for a simple absorption process and then for a general scattering process, defining…
|
|
Physics 4Q03 Lecture 09: This lecture introduces coherent states, and derives them as the eigenstates to which a bosonic system is often driven in the presence of persistent stimulated emission. The…
