• We agreed last week that the final exam will be on Monday December 14 at 1:30. Room number to be announced.

• The midterm exam will cover material up to and including Lecture 12 on the spherical potential well. It will cover the material in the first four chapters of Schiff but not the hydrogen atom, the last section of Chapter 4.

• The homework assignment 5 originally due this week will be due on Monday October 19 instead.

• The midterm exam twill be Friday October 23 from 1:30 to 2:50 in a room to be announced. The exam will cover the first four chapters in Schiff. It will be open notes and open your copy of Schiff but no other books will be allowed. A calculator will likely be useful.

• I've updated the syllabus.

• Because I didn't get as far in today's lecture as I had planned, I'm dropping problem #2 (on the time development of a Gaussian state) from this week's homework. I'll include it on assignment 3 that I will post on Wednesday and that will be due on Sept. 30.

• There will be no class on Tuesday Sept. 8 even though that is a university Monday. The second lecture will be on Wednesday Sept. 9.
• I have changed my office hour from 10:00 to 12:00 on Tuesday to 1:00 to 3:00 on Tuesday
