Lecture notes available on the course website

J.J. Sakurai, Jim Napolitano - Meccanica Quantistica Moderna - Zanichelli
An english version of the book is also available:
Sakurai J.J., Modern Quantum Mechanics - Addison-Wesley

Reference Bibliography

R.P. Feynman et al. - The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Volume III - Addison Wesley Also in "The Feynman Lectures on Physics on line" - feynmanlectures.caltech.edu - Caltech L. Landau e E. Lifschitz - Quantum Mechanics: Non-Relativistic Theory - Elsevier Butterworth-Heinemann S. Gasiorowicz - Quantum Physics - J.Wiley & Sons

Type of delivery of the course

The course consists of theoretical frontal lectures, held by the lecturer of the course, and exercises, carried out in part by the professor and partly by another lecturer. Both the lessons and the exercises are carried out in the classroom and on the blackboard (electronic or with chalk). In case of extension of the sanitary emergency due to COVID-19 all regulations and instructions concerning the methods of carrying out the teaching activities will be adopted.

Attendance

Attendance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.

Type of evaluation

The exam consists of a written test, which involves the resolution of one or more exercises, and an oral test, which is accessed after passing the written test. The exercises of all exams and half-semester tests of previous years are available on the course website. In case of extension of the sanitary emergency due to COVID-19 all regulations and instructions concerning the methods of carrying out the student assessment will be adopted.
