Quantum Mechanics: A graduate course

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a comprehensive set of lecture notes for a graduate-level quantum mechanics course, covering key topics such as the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, angular momentum, perturbation theory, and scattering. The notes, authored by Richard Fitzpatrick from the University of Texas and David Tong, are based on lectures delivered to master's students and are available for download. Additional resources and notes on related subjects, including quantum field theory and mathematical methods in quantum mechanics, are also provided. The notes aim to serve as a valuable educational tool for students and researchers in the field. Overall, this compilation offers a thorough overview of essential quantum mechanics concepts.

David Tong: Lectures on Quantum Field Theory

These notes are based on an introductory course on quantum field theory, given to Part III (i.e. masters level) students in the fall of 2006 and 2007. They were also given at the Perimeter Institure PSI programme in 2009. The full set of lecture notes can be downloaded here. They come in at about 150 pages. Individual sections can be downloaded below. Please email me any typos or comments. Last updated June 2008.

Thread 'Mousetrap Car Energy efficiency'

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
