Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

John Michael Ziman

Published Mar 1, 1961• 27 citations

Abstract

By Robert H. Dicke and James P. Wittke Massachusetts and London: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc. Pp. xi + 369. Price 66s. At a rough count there are about a dozen good textbooks in English on non-relativistic quantum mechanics. An author must therefore have firm confidence in his ability, and a publisher a good expectation of profit, to launch another on the academic world.

This is a straightforward account of the non-relativistic theory, on more or less conventional lines. It is difficult to think of any important topic that has not been included, or contrariwise, of any unimportant topic that ought to have been omitted.

Quantum Mechanics (Non-Relativistic Theory)

Lewis Elton

By L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz London : Pergamon Press. Pp. xii + 515. Price 80s. This book has been awaited for some time and with considerable excitement by English speaking physicists. Their expectations had been raised by the same authors' excellent Classical Theory of Fields and by the knowledge that in Moscow there was in preparation a complete course of Theoretical Physics, monumental even by the standards of Planck and Sommerfeld.

Bernard d'Espagnal California: Addison-Wesley 1971 pp xvii + 493 price $12·50 (cloth) $6·95 (paper) Ever since the advent of quantum mechanics, the attempt to provide a clear and comprehensive account of the fundamental physical implications of the quantum formalism has been fraught with conceptual problems. Over the years an extensive body of literature has accumulated, to which some of the most distinguished quantum theorists have contributed.

Quantum Mechanics of Many Body Systems

Sam F Edwards

D J Thouless New York: Academic 1972 pp xi + 242 price $13.50 This is the second edition of a text which has gained wide acceptance by workers in its field. It is an introduction to the subject rather than a comprehensive treatise and indeed the latter would be a near impossibility since many body theory now encompasses the greater part of theoretical physics outside the high energy region.
