Physics 6105 Syllabus Fall 2014

This document provides information about Physics 6105, a quantum mechanics course offered in the fall of 2014 at Georgia Tech. It lists the instructor Markus Kindermann and teaching assistant Mauricio Bedoya, along with their contact information. It describes that the course grade will be based on homework assignments, two quizzes, and a final exam. It recommends the textbook "Quantum Mechanics" by F. Schwabl and lists some additional reference texts. It provides a tentative outline of topics to be covered in the course, including postulates of quantum mechanics, one-dimensional problems, angular momentum, the hydrogen atom, perturbation theory, and formulations of many-body quantum mechanics.
