Course outline for PHY209 Course
Course Code
: PHY209
Course Title
: Engineering Physics II (Introductory Quantum Physics)
Prerequisite
: Students are expected to have clear understanding of 2nd order partial
differential equation and their solutions, special functions viz. Bessel
function,
Legendre
polynomial,
Hermite
polynomial,
Laguerre
polynomial, erf etc. They should have good grasp on linear algebra
especially on matrices and their eigen values. They should have been
covered in MAT205. Some programming ideas in C/C++/FORTRAN is
also needed. Some basic ideas on MATLAB will be an added advantage
but is not a must.

This is an introductory course to quantum mechanics physics and aims to cover general
formulation of quantum mechanics. This course aims in giving the students clear idea on state
vectors and quantum states, difference between classical and quantum pictures of waves and
particles, uncertainty principle and its use, Schrödinger equation and its solutions for some
simplified cases. Brief ideas on spins, qbits and quantum computing will be introduced also.
Course Outcome
: When completed students are expected to clear understanding on the
difference of laws of nature for classical and quantum world. They are expected to have
technical skills to solve Schrödinger equation for simplified systems and calculate the
expectation value of important observables calculate the probabilities of some quantum
mechanical transitions.
Course Contents
:
1. Birth of Quantum mechanics- Black body radiation, photoelectric effect, stable atomfailure of quantum mechanics, introduction of quantum mechanics. (1-2 Lectures).
2. Quantum theory of radiation –Photoelectric effect, Compton effect, x-rays. (1-2
Lectures).
3.
Wave particle duality – de Broglie waves, wave function and probability, particle
diffraction, uncertainty principle, phase and group velocities(3-4 lectures).
4. Wave equation :. Schrödinger wave equation, operators, expectation values,
probabilities, square well potential, tunneling (5-6 Lectures).
5. Operator algebra – Hilbert space, kets and bras, observables, momentum and position
operators, measurements and uncertainty, time evolution and Schrödinger equation,
Schrödinger picture, Heisenberg picture and interaction picture, Harmonic oscillator,
Schrödinger equation for harmonic oscillator, solution using operators, creation and
annihilation operators, Fourier transform (10-12 Lectures).
6. Quantum computing- Spin, qbits, teleportation, encryption (1-2 Lectures).
Text books
:Quantum mechanics text books vary a lot in the way the topics are
presented. There is no single book that covers this course entirely. We
will mainly follow two books
1) Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications, 2nd Edition
by Nouredine Zettili, Chapters 1-5
2) Quantum mechanics for Electrical Engineers by Dennis M.
Sullivan, Chapters 1-4, 6, 11.
The second book can be accesses online from university IP using the
following link:

Besides, for the first few lectures the following book might be useful:
Concepts of Modern Physics (6th Edition) by Arthur Beiser.

Special Instructions :
1. This is a general guideline and is subject to change as per university guidelines and
need.
2. Students should bring the text book, separate note book for the course and calculators
in the class room otherwise the student will be asked to leave the class.
3. All class test and mid term exam scripts will be returned to the corresponding students.
The students should preserve this till they get their final grades. No claim will be
accepted if the scripts cannot be produced.
4. A student should collect the copy of her/his exam script within 10 working days after
the exam. After this time period the script will be trashed.
5. EWU has a zero tolerance policy for students involved in any form of cheating in exam.
Minimum punishment for cheating in exam is expulsion from the university for at least
two semesters.
6. Students must bring their own calculators, pens etc in the exam hall. No borrowing
in any exam (including class tests). For any such incident the exam script will be
cancelled and the related student(s) will get zero in that exam.
7. If a student establishes, or tries to establish, any verbal or other form of
communication in the exam hall while the exam in progress, the exam script(s) for
all the related students will be cancelled and they will get a zero for that exam
(including class tests).
8. According to the policy of the University, possession of mobile phones (on or off) in the
exam hall is considered as cheating. Punishment for this offence is expulsion from the
University for a minimum of two semesters.
9. If a student for any reason misses any term exam, s/he should inform the course
instructor within 48 hours if he wishes to appear in a make up exam/ obtain I grade.
10. A student needs to be present in minimum 80% of the classes. Otherwise s/he may not
be allowed to sit for the exam.
.
Marking policy
1. A
:
student
must
put
her/his
official
name
and
ID
on
any
exam
script/report/assignment. No marks will be allotted for a script that does not come
with full name and ID.
2. A student must leave 3-4 cm margin to the left side of every page in exam
script/report/assignment. Marks will be deducted if this space is not left.
3. For any assignment/report, only A4 sized white paper can be used. Only one side of
the paper should be used. For graphs only mm graph papers should be used.
Reports/assignments should be properly bound/stapled. Any report/assignment not
conforming to these standards will not be assessed.
4. When solving a mathematical problem a student should show full steps. There is not
mark for problems showing answer without the steps.
5. When solving mathematical problems a student should be careful about presenting
the answer using correct number of significant figures. Marks may be deducted if
incorrect number of significant figures are used.
6. When solving a mathematical problem a student should be careful about using units.
If incorrect units are used marks will be deducted. A student can use any system of
units but should not mix and match different systems of units in the same part of a
problem. If no units are presented marks will be deducted accordingly.
7. Answers should be to the point. Marks will be deducted for irrelevant writing.
8. When stating any law, formula, rule etc., if any symbol is used explain what the
symbols stand for. Otherwise marks will be deducted.
9. Read the question and answer accordingly. For example in the question if you are
asked to state Newton’s 2nd law of motion and if you write only “F=ma”, no marks
will be allotted as this is not the statement of Newton’s 2nd law of motion.
