Spring 2001

Good work. Have a good summer!

Final solutions expanded with data on 2s to 1s transitions and exact solutions to the Dirac equation in the Coulomb potential. Moclear and Nuclear physics lecture notes now complete. Point out typos!

This course is a continuation of 221A taught by Prof. Dung-Hai Lee in Fall 2000 Semester. It introduces more advanced aspects of Quantum Mechanics.
