Homeworks

Generally, the homeworks will be assigned weekly and will be due a week later. Homeworks are essential for understanding the course material. Often, due to the time pressure, I will explain the general theory in class and leave the examples for homework assignment.

Guidelines: 

1. All homeworks are due in class on the date designated below, unless there is emergency or  the due date/time is extended uniformly for all students because of special circumstances. 
2. You are strongly encouraged to discuss all topics of quantum mechanics, including homeworks, with others.  A direct copy of other's homework, however, will receive zero credit for the particular  problems. Who lends the homework may get less than full credit.  Thank you for holding up a high standard for our QM course!
3. Emails regarding homeworks are discouraged. Instead, you should bring QM questions during the office hours or right after the class. 
4. Homeworks must be turned in by paper, not by email or any other electronic format.
