Purpose of the course:
The course is intended to give the students a basic training in quantum mechanics. In the first semester we learned the necessary mathematical tools, developed the subject from the postulates of quantum mechanics, and addressed the indispensable preliminaries. In this coming second semester of the course, the emphasis of the course will be on the second half of the following textbook.

Textbook:`Principles of Quantum Mechanics`, Second Edition, by R. Shankar, (Plenum)

Subjects to be covered:
a) Symmetry and their consequences
b) Rotational invariance and angular momentum
c) The hydrogen atom
d) Spin
e) Addition of angular momenta
f) Variational and WKB methods
g) Perturbation theories
h) Scattering theory
