Quantum mechanics was developed during the first few decades of the twentieth century via a series of inspired guesses made by various physicists, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Schroedinger, Heisenberg, Pauli, and Dirac. All these scientists were trying to construct a self-consistent theory of microscopic dynamics that was compatible with experimental observations.

The purpose of this book is to present quantum mechanics in a clear, concise, and systematic fashion, starting from the fundamental postulates, and developing the theory in as logical a manner as possible. Topics covered in the book include the fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics, angular momentum, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, scattering theory, identical particles, and relativistic electron theory.

Contents:

  • Fundamental Concepts
  • Position and Momentum
  • Quantum Dynamics
  • Orbital Angular Momentum
  • Spin Angular Momentum
  • Addition of Angular Momentum
  • Time-Independent Perturbation Theory
  • Time-Dependent Perturbation Theory
  • Identical Particles
  • Scattering Theory
  • Relativistic Electron Theory

Readership: For graduate students and self-contained or independent study in the field of quantum mechanics.
Key Features:

  • A clear, concise, and systematic exposition of quantum mechanics at the graduate level makes it appear accessible to even advanced undergraduates
  • Contains large number of exercises with solutions provided, making it an ideal text for self-contained or independent study
