Final exam: Those who could not attend both partial exams, or who
wish to improve their grade, may register for the
departmental exam on 16 May. The grades for
Quantum Mechanics II will then (and only then) be weighted with
the points earned from solutions of the exercises, similarly as the grade based on the partial exams.
After the weboodi
registration deadline 7.5, but at the latest on 9 May, you may register by email
to Tiina Hasari <tiina.hasari@helsinki.fi>.
This is an advanced course in quantum mechanics, building on the basic concepts introduced in the course Quantum mechanics I.
The applications of quantum mechanics to topical issues in modern physics are shown as examples.
The course introduces the general methods required to address these and other topics.
