Learning outcomes
The learning outcomes are knowledge of the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum transitions, representation of the amplitude of the transition through the integral along trajectories, application of this representation to obtain approximations in interaction with the external field and systems of interacting particles. Also, as a result, students are introduced to the basic approximations of the equations of quantum mechanics and the basic models of behavior of particles in the external field, as well as able to solve complex specialized problems and practical problems in physics in professional activities or in further learning and methods of physics and is characterized by complexity and uncertainty of conditions.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Know the basic laws of quantum mechanics, mathematical analysis, ordinary differential equations, mathematical physics. In particular, to know the Euler-Lagrange equation, Green's function for differential equations, Ostrogradsky-Gauss and Stokes theorems, Legendre polynomials, spherical functions, cylindrical functions, Bessel, Hankel, Neumann and MacDonald functions. Remember the expressions for the gradient, divergence, rotor and Laplace operator in cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems. Be able to apply previous knowledge from the courses of mathematical analysis, mathematical physics, basics of vector and tensor analysis and differential equations to solve algebraic and differential equations and systems. Have basic skills in calculating derivatives, integrals, operations on operations with vectors, graphically plotting functions, defining and decomposing functions into series and Fourier integrals.
Course content
The discipline "Additional chapters of quantum mechanics" is a component of professional training of specialists of educational and qualification level "Bachelor of Physics" and basic for the study of theoretical physics. The aim of the course is to master the knowledge of special methods of theoretical physics, which are necessary for students to creatively solve complex physical problems using modern methods and approaches.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The total amount of 120 hours, including:
Lectures - 14 hours.
Practical classes - 30 hours.
Consultations - 1 hour.
Independent work - 75 hours.
Assessment methods and criteria
Forms of current control: assessment of homework, written independent assignments, tests and tests performed by students during practical classes. The student can receive a maximum of 40 points for homework, independent assignments, oral answers, tests, additions to practical classes. A student is not admitted to the test if he / she scored less than 24 points during the semester. Final assessment is in the form of a test. You can get a maximum of 60 points on the test.
