In this course, you will learn quantum mechanics as expressed in the language of states and operators. This formalism is particularly convenient when discussing particles' intrinsic spin, but also makes contact with the wave mechanics that you have seen in earlier courses. Along the way, we will discuss a variety of interesting physical systems and gain insight into the fundamental structure of physical laws. When appropriate, class examples and homework will make use of computational or numerical methods.
It is important that you read the syllabus for the course, which includes information about course policies, grading, and a rough schedule of topics. The handout on grading policies is important, too, but I'm guessing that most of you are already on top of this sort of thing.
Most of the online content for the course will be on the colleges' Sakai course management system. Look at the course there for more information.
