Plan of action 1.Basics of QM 2.1D QM Will be covered in the following order: 1.1 Some light revision and reminders. Infinite well 1.2 TISE applied to finite wells 1.3 TISE applied to barriers – tunnelling phenomena 1.4 Postulates of QM (i) What Ψ represents (ii) Hermitian operators for dynamical variables (iii) Operators for position, momentum, ang. Mom. (iv) Result of measurement 1.5 Commutators, compatibility, uncertainty principle 1.6 Time-dependence of Ψ

Hermitian Operators They have real eigenvalues Eigenfunctions are orthonormal Eigenfunctions form a complete set
