Quantum Physics

Published Mar 1, 1975• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Stephen Gasiorowicz Chichester: J Wiley 1974 pp xiii + 514 price £9 Though designed as an introductory book, and clearly and agreeably presented, the overall flavour is that of a more advancedtext. The reviewer, an admirer of the author's previous book on elementary particles, suspects that the mix here was most stimulating in the lecture course from which the book springs, but that it is less appropriate to a textbook.

Modern Physics and Quantum Mechanics

D H Tomlin

E Anderson London: W B Sounders 1971 pp xi + 430 price £6·20 The book is intended for use at senior undergraduate level in an American university, though the first few chapters deal with material likely to have been included in a more elementary course on modern physics. The author's declared aim is to bridge a gap between the more elementary, descriptive type of course and advanced applications of quantum mechanics at postgraduate level.

Quantum mechanics - concepts and applications

Helmut Rechenberg

The book is designed to serve as an `upper-level one-semester course in Quantum mechanics for students majoring in physics or related topics'. To that purpose the author has organised the contents into roughly six parts, giving first a historical introduction into quanta and matter waves, then the solution of the Schrödinger equations in one, and subsequently in three dimensions; in a fourth part spin and the concept of identical particles are explained, whilst in the next the approximation (perturbation) methods and their application to atomic systems and the creation and transfer of radiations. Finally there are two chapters on molecular and solid state physics. Each chapter is accompanied by a selection of appropriate problems. Appendix, index plus diskette are provided. As the author states, the topics and examples were taken from his other (successful) book, Introduction to Modern Physics . It appears to the reviewer that the present account may indeed serve as a first introduction into the elementary aspects of quantum mechanics, with particular emphasis on explaining the basic concepts (like spin, statistics, even the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox). Addressed are the slightly advanced students of science. The language is clear, the formal apparatus does not overwhelm the reader, and the figures have been carefully selected and drawn. We do recommend the book for the purpose envisaged. It raises the appetite for a more systematic and extended study of the subject.

Quantum Physics of Atoms, Molecules, Solids, Nuclei and Particles

Robert Eisberg and Robert Resnick Chichester: J Wiley 1974 pp xii + 713 price £7.75 It is by no means invariably the case that two authors who each have a well deserved reputation can combine to form an effective writing team. In this particular case, however, any such concern can be put aside.

Quantum Mechanics

Kenichi Konishi, Giampiero Paffuti

Abstract This book provides the reader with a contemporary and comprehensive introduction to Quantum Mechanics. It is suitable for beginners as well as for more advanced university students. Quantum mechanics is presented in a pedagogical fashion, with a clear logical organization. The various concepts and methods are introduced first in elementary terms, and later developed into more precise formulations. Systematic studies of approximation methods and the discussion of a wide class of physical applications follow. Part I of the book, together with the opening sections of Part II, provide adequate material for an introductory course of one semester at most universities. The rest of the book might be used in an advanced course on Quantum Mechanics. The basic material is fairly standard, even though some discussions such as those on general systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians, on metastable systems, as well as the discussions in some of the Complement sections, may not be found in other textbooks. The book also contains many original observations or new ways of illustrating even well-known subjects. In fact, the authors wish to convey in this book the sense of wonder in the logical simplicity and at the same time the beauty of subtle and far-reaching consequences of Quantum Mechanics, to young physics students in particular. Problem sets are provided at the end of each chapter, to be solved either analytically or by numerical methods. The solutions to both types of problems are given as separate pdf files or as Mathematica notebooks (there are 88 of them), all together on a CD accompanying the textbook. The presence of such a collection of numerical analyses enriches the main text and is one of the characteristic features of the book. With the many interesting systems discussed, the book will also be a useful reference for researchers and teachers. It provides the reader with a unique, enjoyable and rather complete textbook of Quantum Mechanics, destined to set a new standard for many years to come.

Introduction to quantum theory

Richard L. Hall

H. F. Hameka New York: Harper & Row. 1967 Pp. x + 276. Price £2 15s. It is questionable whether it is good educational policy to provide ancillary rather than additional courses for undergraduates. However, the teacher who feels that chemistry students should be exposed to a special version of introductory quantum mechanics may well find that Professor Hameka's book suggests a suitable course.

Modern Physics – The Quantum Physics of Atoms, Solids and Nuclei (3rd edn)

Christopher John Isham

Robert L Sproull and W Andrew Phillips 1980 Chichester: John Wiley xi + 682 pp price £16 The new edition of this nicely produced work has been significantly extended and updated. It is clearly aimed at physics and engineering students who are near the beginning of their courses and requires very little prior mathematical or physics knowledge beyond that contained in the first term of a typical physics degree.
