CHEM 327 Quantum Chemistry I
This course introduces the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics with an emphasis on concepts and methods relevant to chemistry and molecular systems. Topics include the axioms of quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation, bound and continuum states of simple model systems, and approximation methods such as variational and perturbation theory. The hydrogen atom is studied as a prototypical example for understanding atomic structure. Here are some useful and some interesting links for students:
1D Quantum Mechanics Java Applet. Very useful for visualizing wave functions, probability densities, and time-dependent evolution. Other related applets are also available on the same website.
MIT OpenCourseWare – Quantum Physics I & II Lecture videos and notes. Along with YouTube videos.
Jochen Autschbach's book on Quantum Chemistry. I believe we have access to the pdf of the chapters.
CHEM 422 Introduction to Statistical Thermodynamics
CHEM 450 Applied Quantum Chemistry
