Book Summary of Quantum Physics
This book presents the basic concepts and methods of quantum mechanics for students in the second half of a degree course, allowing them to master its application to real physical situations. A postulate-based treatment is adopted together with a gradual development of the quantum formalism of wave functions, operators, measurement and temporal evolution. Standard topics of one-dimensional and atomic motion, angular momentum and approximation methods are presented in addition to detailed discussions of many-particle systems, atomic and nuclear radiation. Appropriate mathematical tools and techniques are provided wherever necessary. The core text is supplemented by 77 worked examples, some of which address more complex issues and aspects of present-day research. The aim is to make this textbook a realistic introduction to more advanced and specialized texts. The material provides full coverage of the subject matter for university lecture courses at advanced undergraduate level and includes, in addition to the worked examples, 94 problems with solutions and a further 93 with answers only ISBN
