Zusatztext "This textbook on quantum mechanics is characterized by the wide variety of topics touched upon! especially in connection with applications. In fact besides covering essentially all basic arguments for a one year course in quantum mechanics the text briefly considers many other applications such as atomic spectroscopy! quantum statistics! band theory of solids! emission! absorption! lasers! quarks and linear potentials." - Bassano Vacchini! in Zentralblatt Math! 2009 Informationen zum Autor Swanson! Donald Gary Klappentext Progressing from the fundamentals of quantum mechanics to more advanced topics! this book provides a comprehensive examination of many applications that pertain to modern physics and engineering. It begins by discussing the use of Fourier transform pairs to introduce operators in a clear way. In subsequent chapters! the author examines the Schrdinger equation! develops the appropriate operators for angular momentum! gives methods for examining time-dependent systems! and addresses special systems of interest! such as lasers and hadrons. The appendices explore matrices! functions! and physical constants! and give answers to selected problems. Throughout! the author provides relevant mathematical derivations where appropriate.
