LECTURE NOTES ON Quantum MECHANICSPHY 851/852 2020/2021/2022 Scott PrattDepartment of Physics and AstronomyMichigan State UniversityFORWARDT hese notes are for the two-semester graduate level Quantum Mechanics class taught at Michi-gan State University. Although they are more terse than a typical text book, they do cover allthe material used in PHY 851/852. The notes presume a familiarity with basic undergraduateconcepts in Quantum is welcome to use the notes to their heart s content, though the text should be treatedwith the usual academic respect when it comes to copying material.
