Résumé

For one-/two-semester, graduate courses in Quantum Mechanics.

With clear discussion and numerous problems, this text is the first to adequately and comprehensively cover all the subjects of quantum mechanics. It carefully and thoroughly discusses symmetries - especially rotation symmetry, transition theory, the theory of the quantized electromagnetic field, and relativistic wave equations.

Features

In-depth coverage of a wide range of topics - e.g., two level systems; hyperfine structure; Bell's theorem; Feynman path integrals; and Berry's phase.
- Addresses the more difficult and confusing points that come up in quantum mechanics.
Coverage of rotations and symmetries.
- Shows students the general connection between commutators and rotation matrices.
Unique and challenging chapter-end problems - Not found in other texts, over 140 in total.
- Keeps students busy and interested during a year long course.
Contemporary applications.
- Familiarizes students with measurement theory, Berry's phase, and neutrino oscillations.
The details of most mathematical calculations.
- Helps students find their way from one line to line - without assuming that one line follows easily from another.
