Inhoud | Er zijn maar weinig exact oplosbare problemen in de quantummechanica. Daarom is het nodig om methoden te ontwikkelen waarmee fysisch relevante systemen benaderd kunnen worden. In dit college wordt een aantal methoden behandeld die ons hiertoe in staat stelt: tijdsonafhankelijk en tijdsafhankelijke storingstheorie, variatieprincipe, verstrooiingstheorie, alsmede een aantal illustratieve toepassingen. |

Content | Not many problems can be solved exactly in quantum mechanics making it essential to develop approximation methods in order to address a vast range of physical problems in, for example, Quantum Optics and Condensed Matter Physics. In this course, a number of the most important approximation methods will be introduced and illustrated with applications to

Content | This course builds on 191420020 (Introduction to Solid State Physics), treating the material in more detail and extending the scope to cover a number of additional topics:
The emphasis of the course is on operationalizing the theoretical material treated in the lectures by doing homework. This is corrected and the mark contributes to the final mark. The course is based upon the following chapters of "Solid State Physics" by Ashcroft & Mermin, supplemented with lecture notes: §1 The Drude Theory of Metals |
