Quantum Physics II

Together, this course and [*8.06 Quantum Physics III*](https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/8-06-quantum-physics-iii-spring-2018/) cover quantum physics with applications drawn from modern physics. Topics covered in this course include the general formalism of quantum mechanics, harmonic oscillator, quantum mechanics in three-dimensions, angular momentum, spin, and addition of angular momentum. The lectures and lecture notes for this course form the basis of Zwiebach’s textbook *Mastering Quantum Mechanics* published by [MIT Press](https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/mastering-quantum-mechanics) in April 2022.
