PEP 653 Quantum Mechanics II

This course is a continuation of PEP 554. Topics include: principles of quantum dynamics, time-dependent perturbation theory, scattering theory, the density matrix, quantization of the electromagnetic field, interaction of photons with atoms and non-relativistic particles, identical particles, and second quantization for many-body systems. Typical text: Quantum Mechanics by E. Merzbacher.
