Quantum mechanics: a graduate course/ Horatiu Năstase

By: Publication details: UK: CUP, 2022Description: xxi, 656 pages, 26.5 cmISBN:
  • 9781108838733
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 530.12 N269
Contents:
Part I: formalism and basic problems -- Part IIa: Advanced foundations -- Part IIb: Approximation methods -- Part IIc: Atomic and nuclear quantum mechanics -- Part IId: Scattering theory -- Part IIe: Many particles
Summary: Description Contents Resources Courses About the Authors Written for a two-semester graduate course in Quantum Mechanics, this comprehensive text helps develop the tools and formalism of Quantum Mechanics and its applications to physical systems. It suits students who have taken some introductory Quantum Mechanics and Modern Physics courses at undergraduate level, but it is self-contained and does not assume any specific background knowledge beyond appropriate fluency in mathematics. The text takes a modern logical approach rather than a historical one and it covers standard material, such as the hydrogen atom and the harmonic oscillator, the WKB approximations and Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization. Important modern topics and examples are also described, including Berry phase, quantum information, complexity and chaos, decoherence and thermalization, nonstandard statistics, as well as more advanced material such as path integrals, scattering theory, multiparticles and Fock space. Readers will gain a broad overview of Quantum Mechanics, as solid preparation for further study or research.
