Quantum Mechanics, - Tapa blanda

This text explains clearly and with the minimum of mathematics the quantum mechanics needed by physics undergraduates. It is aimed mainly at physics students who have finished the first year of their courses, but its easy-to-follow approach will appeal to any undergraduate following a quantum mechanics course.
It has been widely recommended as a course text for the last 12 years and this new edition brings the subjects covered right up-to-date - including an introduction to the de Broglie-Bohm hidden variable theory. Other changes include a discussion of the impressive new experiments that demonstrate neutron diffraction by macroscopic sized slits, a revised treatment of Clebsch-Gordan co-efficients and a fuller discussion of spontaneous emission in the chapter on time dependence.

This is the 3rd edition of a textbook covering quantum mechanics for physics undergraduates. Some knowledge of atomic physics and mathematics, typical of that achieved by a first-year student, is assumed. Problems and hints to the solutions accompany each chapter. The revised edition includes updated discussion of modern experimental methods, a revised treatment of the Clebsch-Gordon coefficients and a fuller discussion of spontaneous emission in the chapter on time dependence. The chapter on associated conceptual problems has been largely rewritten in the light of recent developments in this area of the subject.
