Quantum Mechanics: A graduate course

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a comprehensive set of lecture notes for a graduate-level quantum mechanics course, covering key topics such as the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, angular momentum, perturbation theory, and scattering. The notes, authored by Richard Fitzpatrick from the University of Texas and David Tong, are based on lectures delivered to master's students and are available for download. Additional resources and notes on related subjects, including quantum field theory and mathematical methods in quantum mechanics, are also provided. The notes aim to serve as a valuable educational tool for students and researchers in the field. Overall, this compilation offers a thorough overview of essential quantum mechanics concepts.

David Tong: Lectures on Quantum Field Theory

These notes are based on an introductory course on quantum field theory, given to Part III (i.e. masters level) students in the fall of 2006 and 2007. They were also given at the Perimeter Institure PSI programme in 2009. The full set of lecture notes can be downloaded here. They come in at about 150 pages. Individual sections can be downloaded below. Please email me any typos or comments. Last updated June 2008.

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Effect of mass on the acceleration of an elastic pendulum?'

I know that mass does not affect the acceleration in a simple pendulum undergoing SHM, but how does the mass on the spring that makes up the elastic pendulum affect its acceleration? Certainly, there must be a change due to the displacement from equilibrium caused by each differing mass? I am talking about finding the acceleration at a specific time on each trial with different masses and comparing them. How would they compare and why?

Thread 'Inclined treadmills and Galilean Invariance'

This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.
