Lectures on Quantum Mechanics (2^nd Ed., Softcover reprint of the original 2nd ed. 2016) With Problems, Exercises and their Solutions Graduate Texts in Physics Series

Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, Twelve Lectures in Quantum Mechanics presents theoretical physics with a breathtaking array of examples and anecdotes. Basdevant?s style is clear and stimulating, in the manner of a brisk lecture that can be followed with ease and enjoyment. Here is a sample of the book?s style, from the opening of Chapter 1: "If one were to ask a passer-by to quote a great formula of physics, chances are that the answer would be ?E = mc2??. There is no way around it: all physics is quantum, from elementary particles, to stellar physics and the Big Bang, not to mention semiconductors and solar cells."

A graduate of the Ecole Normale Superieure, Jean-Louis Basdevant is Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics at the Ecole Polytechnique, and Director of Research for the CNRS. Specializing in the theoretical physics of elementary particles, quantum field theory and astrophysics, Prof. Basdevant works in the Leprince-Ringuet Laboratory at the Ecole Polytechnique.

Now includes numerous problems with detailed solutions, an introduction to the mathematical tools needed and further discussion of modern applications of quantum mechanics

Written in an engaging style, places Quantum Mechanics in a broader physics context
