* Course Description:
(3 credit hours, Prerequisite: 1102261&1102281)
Theoretical study of quantity, basic principles, properties of effects, impressive density, transfer polar
(dual and quad-polar), Hamiltonian corn, the elements of the matrix and the principle of symmetry, the
equations of motion for transitions binaries electrodes and magnetic, vibration operations, the behavior
of the case for the transition of dual-electrode, properties, transit behavior for the transition of dualelectrode, the laser and its applications, reverse rehabilitation, Springs Q, laser four levels.
* Objectives:

To understand the concepts that led to the transition from classical to
quantum physics such as the particle properties of radiation, the wave
properties of matter and the quantization of physical quantities. To
understand symmetries and conservation laws.

To understand the concept of wave packets and uncertainty principle to
understand Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Mechanics.

To be familiar with
Schrödinger wave equation and the probability
interpretation

To solve the Eigen value equation for some simple one dimensional
potentials and to generalize the results for the case of three dimensional
problems.

To learn some operator methods in quantum mechanics and to study the
angular momentum operator as an example.

To apply the above concepts in studying the energy spectrum and
eigenfunctions of the Hydrogen atom.
