Hey there

Im preparing for an oral exam in mathematical quantum physics.

not sure if this fits in here very well.

but anyway, anybody had some in exams in the past?
and probably give me some hints what is important, what should I know. And are there any classical questions?

my literature is "Gustafson and Sigal: Mathematical Concepts of Quantum Mechanics"

this isn't very specific information so far, so i name a few topics:
so for instance
stability problems (schrödinger operators, esp. hydrogen), bounds states, many particle systems, Mean field Approximations, 2nd Quantization.

best regards, tks in adv

Hm, it's very difficult to guess what your professor asks. Why don't you ask him, what to prepare for? Maybe there are other students who have had an exam with him, and you can ask them, how the exam looks like.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
