This lecture covers the theory of time-independent perturbations in quantum mechanics, focusing on the first and second-order corrections to the energy levels. It also discusses the perturbation theory applied to various quantum systems, such as the hydrogen atom. The lecture delves into the mathematical formalism behind perturbations and their effects on the energy eigenvalues and eigenstates, providing insights into the behavior of quantum systems under external influences.
