■ 課程目標 (Course Objectives)
The fundamentals of quantum mechanics are introduced through a detailed discussion of the physics of intrinsic spin. Such an approach has a number of significant advantages. First, students find starting a course with something new both interesting and exciting. Second, spin systems provide us with many beautiful but straightforward illustrations of the essential structure of quantum mechanics. Third,students will see that wave mechanics is only one aspect of quantum mechanics, not the fundamental core of the subject. They see at an early stage that wave mechanics and matrix mechanics are just different ways of calculating based on the same underlying quantum mechanics.
