Science Academies’ Refresher Course on
Quantum Mechanics
5 – 18 May 2014
Sponsored by
Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore
Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi
The National Academy of Sciences India, Allahabad
In collaboration with
Bishop Moore College, Mavelikara, Kerala
A Refresher Course in ‘Quantum Mechanics’ for College/University teachers/research scholars will be held at Post Graduate and Research Department of Physics, Bishop Moore College, Mavelikara, Kerala, during 5 -18 May, 2014. The Course is primarily aimed at teachers teaching quantum mechanics at the UG/PG level although a few seats will be available for research scholars in physics. The Course will cover the basic and advanced topics of quantum mechanics, through lectures and tutorials. College/University teachers having at least a Master’s degree in Physics are particularly encouraged to apply.
Topics: Most of the topics in a standard UG/PG level course syllabus will be covered. There will be four modules:
Module 1: Formulation, Schrodinger equation, Angular momentum, H-atom;
Module 2: Scattering, Time-independent perturbations, WKB, Variational method;
Module 3: Symmetries and conservation laws, Klein Gordon and Dirac equations;
Module 4: Time dependent perturbation, Field quantization.
Resource persons:
Professors M. Lakshmanan (Professor of Eminence & DST Ramanna Fellow, Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics Bharathidasan University ,Tiruchirapalli), HS Mani (Chennai Mathematical Institute),G.
