Couverture de l’ouvrage Quantum Mechanics

A Thorough Update of One of the Most Highly Regarded Textbooks on Quantum Mechanics

Continuing to offer an exceptionally clear, up-to-date treatment of the subject, Quantum Mechanics, Sixth Edition explains the concepts of quantum mechanics for undergraduate students in physics and related disciplines and provides the foundation necessary for other specialized courses. This sixth edition builds on its highly praised predecessors to make the text even more accessible to a wider audience. It is now divided into five parts that separately cover broad topics suitable for any general course on quantum mechanics.
New to the Sixth Edition

Three chapters that review prerequisite physics and mathematics, laying out the notation, formalism, and physical basis necessary for the rest of the book
Short descriptions of numerous applications relevant to the physics discussed, giving students a brief look at what quantum mechanics has made possible industrially and scientifically
Additional end-of-chapter problems with different ranges of difficulty

This exemplary text shows students how cutting-edge theoretical topics are applied to a variety of areas, from elementary atomic physics and mathematics to angular momentum and time dependence to relativity and quantum computing. Many examples and exercises illustrate the principles and test students understanding.

Waves, Electromagnetism, and the Limits of Classical Physics: The Physics and Mathematics of Waves. Maxwell's Equation and Electromagnetic Waves. Particle Mechanics, Relativity, and Photons. The Early Development of Quantum Mechanics. Elementary Wave Mechanics: The One-Dimensional Schrodinger Equations. The Three-Dimensional Schrodinger Equations. Formal Foundations: The Basic Postulates of Quantum Mechanics. Angular Momentum I. Angular Momentum II. Time-Independent Perturbation Theory and the Variational Principle. Extensions and Approximation Schemes: Time Dependence. Scattering. Many-Particle Systems. Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Advanced Topics: Quantum Information. The Conceptual Problems of Quantum Mechanics.
Undergraduate
Alastair I.M. Rae retired as a reader in quantum physics from the University of Birmingham. He first taught quantum mechanics in the 1970s, which led to the publication of the first edition of this book. He has conducted research in many areas of condensed matter physics, including superconductivity and its high temperature manifestations. Jim Napolitano is a professor of physics at Temple University. His research field is experimental nuclear and particle physics, focusing primarily on studies of fundamental interactions. He also is interested in modern instructional techniques and has published two textbooks on advanced topics in physics.
