• Please complete the Midsemester course evaluation and return by e-mail. I regret it will not be anonymous but please understand that I truly welcome all comments.
• Homework #8 due Friday, Oct. 30, AM, Cohen-Tannoudji #3.5 (particle subject to constant force), reflection delay
• Homework #9 due Friday, Nov. 6, Cohen-Tannoudji, #1.5 (two delta functions). Note: this problem is long. You can solve it most efficiently if you use a transmission matrix. You might also want to look over problems #1.2 and 1.3.
• Homework #10 due Tuesday, Nov. 24, Cohen-Tannoudji #5.2 (anisotropic 3D oscillator) and #5.6 (charged oscillator in variable field, long)
• Homework #11 due Friday, Dec. 4 AM, Harmonic oscillator in thermal equilibrium, zero-point motion of a harmonic chain.
• Homework #12, due Friday, Dec. 11, AM, Cohen-Tannoudji, problems #6.2 (observables in angular momentum superposition states), 6.6 (electric quadrupole hamiltonian), 7.2 (3D harmonic oscillator in magnetic field).
