Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics – Particles, Waves and Wave Mechanics

Edward J. Burge

Published Mar 1, 1968• 2 citations
Publisher

Abstract

S. Borowitz New York: W. A. Benjamin. 1967 Pp. xiv + 401. Price $13.90. The introduction of the Hamiltonian to students is made in a variety of ways and at different levels, and for many the first mention is in connexion with wave mechanics. This volume, however, sets out to provide a thorough understanding of the basic concepts and methods of wave theory, of the variational principles in optics and of Hamiltonian mechanics, before the introduction of wave mechanics.

A. A. Sokolov, Y. M. Loskutov and I. M. Ternov London and New York: Holt, Rimehart ' Winston. 1966. Pp. xix + 537. Price £4 8s. This addition to the large number of available books on quantum mechanics is mainly of interest to the nonspecialist. The subject is introduced via elementary radiation theory, the Bohr atom and de Broglie waves, which lead to plausibility arguments for Schrodinger's equation.

H A Bethe and B Jackiw New York: Benjamin 1968 pp ix + 393, price $11.00 This book is designed to meet the needs of students working through a second course of quantum mechanics. It is not a textbook on the fundamental theory, but is rather a down to earth treatment of the main applications to atomic physics.

The substantial revision of the introductory chapter on fundamental notions of quantum mechanics should succeed in its stated aim of making the book more accessible to mathematicians.

Introduction to the Quantum Theory

David L Hurd

David Park McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. Ltd. 1964. Pp. xv + 547. Price 83s. 6d. There are surely few branches of physics which have been so amply, and repetitively, documented as the basic principles of quantum mechanics. Suppressing an almost overwhelming impression of déjà vu, one opens this new entry to the field to find that the text is so organized as to present the discussion of the theory in Part I, and to segregate the applications to Part II, an arrangement for which there is much to be said and which, when as thoughtfully carried out as in the example under review, allows the student, and the lecturer, the opportunity to mix his own blend of theory and application.

Fundamentals of Optics

Edward R. Pike

J. R. Klauder and E. C. G. Sudarshan New York: W. A. Benjamin. 1968 Pp. xi + 279. Price $15–50. This book is one of the first to appear on the new activity in optical coherence theory stimulated by the advent of the laser. The authors are well known for their original work in the subject; they have been particularly concerned with the development of formalism for the description of an arbitrary free field in a 'classical like' form or 'diagonal representation'.
