A propos de cet article

Neuware - 'Quantum mechanics is a subfield of physics that studies how the universe works at atomic and subatomic levels. It is an essential part of undergraduate and graduate courses in physics and undergraduate engineering courses in India. This book comes from the desk of authors who have decades of graduate-level teaching experience in quantum mechanics. It covers the syllabus requirements set forth by the University Grants Commission (UGC), India, and has additional several unique features that will set it apart. It introduces the students to vector space in the beginning to give a comprehensive idea of the mathematics involved in the concepts, has separate appendices emphasizing the techniques of differential equations, and covers applications of quantum mechanics related to atomic physics, condensed matter physics, particle physics, and so on. The text is carefully designed and is not completely mathematical; it gives equal emphasis to the discussions around physics and creates a nice balance. The book will be suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in physics and chemistry. Several advanced topics have been covered in this book. They are expected to be beneficial particularly to graduate students and researchers'--.

Synopsis

This book provides a lucid introduction to the basic ideas of quantum mechanics. Meant for undergraduate and graduate physics students, it contains discussions on advanced topics that will be beneficial for researchers also. The text is designed according to the syllabi followed in major Indian universities. Chapters are designed to provide an equal emphasis to physical as well as mathematical significance of concepts. The text is divided in four parts. The first part introduces concepts of formalism and includes topics, namely wave-particle duality, state vectors, and symmetry. The second part comprises discussions on exactly solvable problems. This is followed by the third part which deals with various approximation techniques including degenerate and non-degenerate perturbation theory, WKB approximation, and Born approximation. The fourth part of this book deals with advanced topics like permutation symmetry, Dirac particle in a central potential, and EPR paradox.
