Quantum mechanics: basics/ Wolfgang Nolting

By: Series: Theoretical Physics ; 6Publication details: Berlin: Springer, 2017Description: xv, 516 pages 23 cmISBN:
  • 9783319543857
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 530.12 N798
Contents:
Inductive Reasons for the Wave Mechanics -- Schrödinger Equation -- Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics (Dirac-Formalism) -- Simple Model Systems -- Solutions of the Exercises -- Index
Summary: This textbook offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to the basics of quantum mechanics, one of the core components of undergraduate physics courses. It follows on naturally from the previous volumes in this series, thus developing the physical understanding further on to quantized states. The first part of the book introduces wave equations while exploring the Schrödinger equation and the hydrogen atom. More complex themes are covered in the second part of the book, which describes the Dirac formulism of quantum mechanics. Ideally suited to undergraduate students with some grounding in classical mechanics and electrodynamics, the book is enhanced throughout with learning features such as boxed inserts and chapter summaries, with key mathematical derivations highlighted to aid understanding. The text is supported by numerous worked examples and end of chapter problem sets.
