Course setup:

Problem sets:

There will be 6 problem sets, handed out roughly every second week. You will have 2 weeks to complete each one.
For practical reasons late problem sets will not be graded unless a verifiable excuse is given.
Mathematica or equivalent may be used. Please submit the input/output.
You may discuss the problems with your classmates but each student should provide their own solutions.
Please do not use solutions to the problems that might be available online. This is at best bad for your mastery of quantum mechanics and at worst detectable by the TA.
