Goal(s)

This course completes the first year lectures in elementary quantum physics, with respect to the curriculum of the PMP section. At the end of this course, students are able to apply elementary Dirac formalism of quantum mechanics. The important example of the angular momentum operator is studied in depth, which allows solving the paradigmatic hydrogen atom problem.
