Quantum Few-Body Systems
| This second semester course provides an introduction to the fundamental knowledge and techniques of experimental and theoretical atomic and molecular physics, with emphasis on the structure of atoms and molecules and their interactions with other particles and external electric and magnetic fields. This knowledge provides a basis for further study, for example in chemical bonding, semiconductor materials, magnetism, nuclear magnetic resonance, crystals, astrophysics, atmospheric physics and plasmas. Various examples, such as the influence of magnetic fields on atoms, ‘exotic’ atoms (eg positronium), chaotic motion near the ionization limits, laser mechanisms, electron-nuclear angular momentum coupling, and tunneling in nanostructures demonstrate the practical use of the quantum mechanics and classical electromagnetism studied in previous courses. |
