Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

A clear and accessible introduction to theory and applications of quantum mechanics for junior/senior undergraduate students of physics.

This modern textbook offers an introduction to Quantum Mechanics as a theory that underlies the world around us, from atoms and molecules to materials, lasers, and other applications. The main features of the book are: Emphasis on the key principles with minimal mathematical formalism Demystifying discussions of the basic features

The subject of quantum mechanics has grown tremendously during the last century and revealed many hidden secrets of nature. It has enabled mankind move towards understanding the nature of matter and radiation. However, for the students its concepts have remained a problem to understand. Having deeply observed this situation and

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics is an introduction to the powerand elegance of quantum mechanics. Assuming little in the way ofprior knowledge, quantum concepts are carefully and preciselypresented, and explored through numerous applications and problems.Some of the more challenging aspects that are essential for amodern appreciation of the subject have been

Classic undergraduate text explores wave functions for the hydrogen atom, perturbation theory, the Pauli exclusion principle, and the structure of simple and complex molecules. Numerous tables and figures.
