Where do we need more time/focus/etc?

We are about 4 weeks into the semester and we have covered nearly two chapters of McIntyre! We should pause for a bit and compile issues and questions we have about what we have covered so far. Here’s a list of what we have talked about so far:

  • Review of Chapters 1-3 (Spin and Formalism)
    • Spin 1/2
    • Spin 1
    • Finding Eigenvalues and Eigenstates
    • Changing Basis
  • The Infinite Square Well
  • Finite Square Well
  • Matching Boundary Conditions
  • Delta function potentials
  • Free particle states
  • Position and momentum space
  • Fourier Transforms

In this Google Doc, write up questions and concerns that you have about what we have covered so far. Your ideas and questions will feed directly into our class going forward.
