Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :
1	This course for students who already received an introduction to quantum ideas and to 1D wave mechanics will include a systematic exposition to non-relativist quantum mechanics, - who establishes it on strong but not too formal theoretical bases and - that offer a tool useful for the study of fields like atomic and molecular physics, nuclear and solid state physics.

The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
