Define general properties of angular momentum in quantum mechanics, and specifically the relevant observables, their commutation relations, and their eigenvalue equations
-
Outline the exact solution of the non-relativistic theory of the hydrogen atom using polynomial method
-
Describe the Pauli non-relativistic theory of electron spin
-
Perform addition of arbitrary angular momenta using general methods
-
Use stationary perturbation theory to calculate first and second order corrections to eigenvalues and eigenvectors
-
Describe the spectrum of the hydrogen atom, the relevant degeneracies and quantum numbers, and explain the relativistic origin of the fine and hyperfine structure
