Course Description:
This is an introduction to the mathematics and the physics of quantum mechanics. In this course, we will discuss the laws of quantum mechanics and their consequences in a conceptually clear way, in tandem with introducing the mathematical tools needed to study the theory (with elements from Fourier analysis, functional analysis, and Lie groups and their representations). We will begin by discussing the laws of quantum mechanics in the comparatively simpler setting of finite dimensional spin systems, then move on to continuous systems, and conclude with a discussion of many-body quantum mechanics.
