Quantum Chemistry I · Chemistry
Quantum chemistry. Basic ideas of quantum mechanics
Basics of quantum chemistry, manipulating equations, etc.
Basic postulates of quantum mechanics and applications to one-particle systems; properties of angular momentum operators and spin states; time-dependent quantum mechanics; approximate theories (perturbation theory, variation, etc.)
I learned the basics of QM, the general ideas and principles of quantum systems. Ex) basis representations, operators, wave mechanics, etc.
How to approach problems, significance of quantum concepts in research
Matrix mechanics for quantum systems, review of wave mechanics, how to think about quantum chemistry
We learned Quantum Theory including building the language to talk it (braket notation, operators) and how to apply this to a variety of systems.
Maths related to quantum chemistry, chapters on fundamental postulates, Schrödinger equation, angular momentum, spin systems, harmonic oscillators, scattering, perturbation theory, a bit on group operators
I not only learned about quantum chemistry, but also how to tackle problems that I did not have a clue how to solve them.
spin operator, bra-ket operation, time-independent/dependent perturbation theory, identical particles, harmonic oscillator, variation method
