Experimentalphysik 3, Wellen- und Quantenphysik

Instructors: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Martin Fertl
Shortname: Exphysik 3
Course No.: 08.128.030
Course Type: Vorlesung/Übung

Recommended reading list

There is a wide variety of textbooks and I will take approaches from different ones.
Well-known standard works that can also be borrowed from the library or available as an eBook:
Demtröder, Experimental Physics 2 & 3,
Otten, Repetitorium Experimental Physics;
Hecht, optics;

Contents

The event covers the following topics:
• Wave optics: polarization, diffraction, interference, elementary Fourier optics (optical filtering,
Image formation), coherence, optical interferometers (Mach-Zehnder, Sagnac, Michelson-Morley),
Evanescent waves, resonators (Fabry-Perot interferometer), Gaussian beam optics, photo effect, black body radiation
• Matter waves: plane waves, wave packets, dispersion relation, propagation, measurement process / interpretation of the wave function, diffraction/interference of matter waves, atom interferometer, neutron interferometer
• Elementary quantum mechanics: spin, Stern-Gerlach experiment, spin, polarization, entangled
Systems (photon pairs), which way experiments
• Some quantum mechanical systems: harmonic oscillator, tunnel effect, H atom (basics), spectroscopy (basics).

Additional information

The lecture will partly contain reading assignments, which must be prepared independently before the next lecture.
Questions about the texts can and should be discussed together during the lecture.
