PH 107 Quantum Physics / PH 112 Quantum Mechanics

Undergraduate (B.Tech) Programme, IIT Bombay, 2023

Context: This page contains the (slightly edited) list of resources I had made for the students taking PH107 back in 2021. Considering the overlap between the syllabi of PH107 and PH112, I’ve combined the tutorial question and answers for both the courses. I will mention which questions are out of the syllabus during each tutorial class. (The original PH107 resources was a group effort by 4 of us)

  
Tutorial timings:Wednesdays 4:00 - 4:55 PM
Doubts:Ask them on the “Doubts” channel on MS Teams
Logistic issues:Ask them on the “Logistics” channel on MS Teams
Grading:Based on (a) Attendance (b) Interaction (c) quizzes

Tutorial problems and solutions

Problems: ph107-tutorial-questions
Solutions: ph107-tutorial-solutions (I’ll be updating this every week on Wednesday)

Resources

The official text for the course is Modern Physics by Serway, Moses and Moyer. This is a good book for whoever is very new to these concepts. If you are comfortable with the intuition and would like a challenge, then I suggest Nouredine Zettili’s Quantum mechanics: Concepts and Applications. This book starts from the basics and covers the entirety of non-relativistic quantum mechanics at the undergraduate level. It also has a ton of practice problems and solved examples.
