Literature

The main literature for the course consists of:

(1) The document entitled "Hilbert spaces" found below

(2) Gunnar Ohlen: Quantum world phenomenon: theory and concepts, (University) Chapter 5-9
 

Extra reading

Gunnar Sparr and Annika Sparr: Continuous systems (Open University), Chapters H and S

An English book covering the same mathematics area and which may be of interest is
Philippe Dennery and Andre Krzywicki: Mathematics for physicists, found for example here.

Peter S. Riseborough: Mathematical methods 1, kap. 1-9. (freely availiable from the web)

Course Material

- Math literature: Hilbert Spaces
- Math excercises: exercises for Hilbert spaces
- Hand-in assignments for the math part: Hand-ins for Hilbert spaces

- Suggestions for solutions to Ohlen exercises:
- part 1
- part 2

- Computer Projects:
i) Quantum dots Andrea Idini (andrea.idini@matfys.lth.se)
ii) Time-dependent Schrödinger equation Claudio Verdozzi (cv@teorfys.lu.se)
iii) Perturbation of a hydrogen plasma Peter Samuelsson (peter.samuelsson@teorfys.lu.se)
