Quantum mechanics : classical results, modern systems and visualized examples

By: Robinett, Richard W.
Publisher: New Delhi : Oxford University Press, 2006Edition: 2nd ed.Description: xvi, 703 p. ; ill., 25 cm.ISBN: 9780198840756.Subject(s): Quantum theory | Electromagnetism | Gravity | Multi-Particle Systems | The Schrodinger Equation | Wave Equation | Classical Waves | Physics history | History | Classical resultsDDC classification: 530.12 Summary: Quantum Mechanics: Classical Results, Modern Systems, and Visualized Examples is a comprehensive introduction to non-relativistic quantum mechanics for advanced undergraduate students in physics and related fields. It provides students with a strong conceptual background in the most important theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics, extensive experience with the mathematical tools required to solve problems, the opportunity to use quantum ideas to confront modern experimental realizations of quantum systems, and numerous visualizations of quantum concepts and phenomena. Changes from the First Edition include many new discussions of modern quantum systems (such as Bose-Einstein condensates, the quantum Hall effect, and wave packet revivals) all in the context of familiar textbook level examples. The book continues to emphasize the many connections to classical mechanics and wave physics to help students use their existing intuition to better learn new quantum concepts.
