Subject syllabus

ANOTATION
The subject follows the previously teached subject 'Introduction to quantum physics and chemistry'. Its goal is to introduce more advance chapters of quntum mechanics such as matrix representation of quantum mechanics, additivity of angular momenta, perturbation theory, probability of transition in two-level systém (e.g. photon absorption) or second quantization and application of quantum mechanics, such as quantum cryptography and quantum teleportation.

Outline of the subject
- matrix representation of quantum mechanics
- spin, magnetic moment, summing up of angular moments, Clebch-Gordan coefficients
- perturbation theory (spin-orbit interaction), time-dependent perturbation
- interaction of two-level system with electromagnetic field.
- second quantization
- more-electrons' wave function, singlet and triplet states, Slater determinant
- quantum entanglement, EPR paradox, quantum quantum crypthograhy, quantum teleportation
