Title

Quantum Dynamics

Learning Outcome

Compute the dynamical evolution of quantum systems and convert results between the different representations of quantum theory.

Title

Coupled Systems

Learning Outcome

Solve problems involving the coupling of independent quantum systems, including identical particles, and be able to give their quantum information content.

Title

Quantum Angular Momentum
