Quantum Mechanics

Suitable for students in physics, chemistry, astrophysics, engineering and materials science, this interdisciplinary book introduces the reader to the fascinating and multifaceted world of quantum fluids in mostly in non-technical terms, and is accompanied by a wealth of examples from everyday life...

This book covers the fundamentals of quantum physics through the full Coulomb theory of the hydrogen atom, a semi-quantitative analysis of the helium atom, and a qualitative description of the build-up of the periodic table, ending with a brief discussion of radiation by atoms. The emphasis througho..

This book is a rewritten and annotated version of Leo P. Kadanoff and Gordon Baym’s lectures that were presented in the book Quantum Statistical Mechanics: Green’s Function Methods in Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Problems...

Providing an accessible textbook, this volume illustrates the intimate connection between quantum mechanics and QED in two steps: first the quantization of free fields and then their interactions. The text contains solved problems to facilitate the application of the theory presented, as well as a u..

Most modern books on Einstein emphasize the genius of his relativity theory and the corresponding corrections and extensions of the ancient space-time concept. However, Einstein’s opposition to the use of probability in the laws of nature and particularly in the laws of quantum mechanics are often p..

In most cases, values are tabulated in the customary manner- ten on a line. In some tables, the second column gives the first few places which apply to all the entries in that row...

From the early wave-particle arguments to the mathematical theory of electromagnetism to Einstein’s work on the quantization of light, different descriptions of what constitutes light have existed for over 300 years. This book examines the photon phenomenon from several perspectives. It demonstrates..

Microcomputer Quantum Mechanics combines the teaching of computing skills with depth of mathematical understanding...

Comprehensive, detailed, and systematic, this volume presents the fundamentals of path integrals, both the Wiener and Feynman type, and their many applications in physics. Accessible to a broad community of theoretical physicists, the book deals with systems possessing a infinite number of degrees i..

With contributions from leading experts in quantum systems, this title provides an overview of the range of quantum dynamics, exploring their use and exotic behaviors. It covers specific subjects of quantum dynamics with an emphasis on simple systems where few atoms or electrons are involved. It is ..

This superior resource, whether used in the classroom or for self-study, provides a complete grounding in quantum mechanics for those looking to deepen their understanding of semiconductor device physics and electrical engineering. It provides the necessary background to quantum theory for those sta..

Quantum mechanics is notoriously difficult to understand for students with no prior knowledge of quantum theory. This book provides an introduction to quantum mechanics. It includes examples and exercise sets that help students to master the subject...
