Fundamentals of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger equation, operator techniques, angular momentum, central force motion, spin, matrix representations, and elementary perturbation theory are studied.
The Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of Newtonian mechanics. Also covered are variational principles, transformation theory, Poisson brackets, Hamilton-Jacobi theory, special relativity and the covariant formulation of particle mechanics. General relativity is introduced.
Mathematical methods in physics. Linear algebra, complex variable theory, eigenfunction expansions and orthogonal functions, the special functions of mathematical physics are studied.
Radiative processes and the theory of scattering. Other topics included are variational principles, symmetry and invariance principles, and second quantization. Relativistic quantum mechanics and field theory are introduced. (Formerly offered as PHY 532.)
Directed research on a project in experimental, theoretical, or applied physics under the supervision of a faculty sponsor. The research may be concluded with a written report at the end of one or two terms. Graded A-F, or IP if the project is conducted across two terms.

Prof. J. P. Hsu has extensive expertise and research experience in broad views of the Lorentz and Poincare invariance, gauge symmetry, quantum field theory, generalization of the Lorentz group to transformations of non- inertial frames and physics in non-inertial frames. In collaboration with Dr. L. Hsu, they developed a broad view of the Lorentz and Poincare invariance and the logically simplest formulation of relativity theory and published 2 books, including "A Broader View of Relativity--General Implications of Lorentz and Poincare Invariance." He has published 167 papers and 12 books. Currently, he investigates the electrodynamics and the mechanics in non- inertial frames and its experimental tests, which are funded research. He has also carried out extensive calculations on gravitational implications of a spin-2 field coupled to fermion field with translation gauge symmetry in flat spacetime, including the gravitational quadrupole radiations of pulsars.
