To teach the student several general features of quantum systems. To give foundations for various possible applications.
Knowledge of the first course of quantum mechanics and course of theoretical physics
LECTURE:
- The density operator.
- The evolution operator.
- Gauge invariance.
- Unstable states; lifetimes.
- Bound sates of a particle in a potential well of arbitrary shape.
- Unbound states of a particle in the presence of a potential well or barrier of arbitrary shape.
CLASS:
Essentially the same topics, but with extension of particular calculations and interpretations on several examples.
Lectures on problems and discussions. Oral practice, in which students solve tasks.

LECTURE: A course credit for the lectures is obtained by taking a final exam composed of tasks of varying degrees of difficulty.
CLASS: During the classes the preparation of the students will be checked as well as their understanding of the lecture content at the time of the lectures.
To obtain a course credit for the exercises 50% of the maximum number of points will be required, which can be achieved through two cumulative tests. A student who achieves at least 10% of the maximum points and who does not exceed the class absence limit has the right to a re sit test of the entire material before the examination date. The result of the exam is also affected by class participation and preparation for the class.
Entrance to the exam requires prior accreditation of the course exercises.
