Quantum Chemistry

Published Sep 1, 1972• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

D A Brown Harmondsworth: Penguin 1912 pp 135 price £1.75 (paper) This book consists of five short chapters, on classical mechanics and the old quantum theory, the new quantum theory, many particle systems, valence theory and quantum theory of chemical reactivity. The presentation is not original and I personally find many minor criticisms of the way the book is written, but its overwhelming characteristic is its brevity.

ReviewsAn Introduction to the Quantum Theory. By TempleG., Ph.D., D.Sc. (London: Williams and Norgate Ltd.) 195 pp., 12 figs. Price 12s. 6d.

This book is a mathematical study of the new quantum theory, designed for those who are new to the subject. In the first four chapters the treatment may be described as classical. The notation employed is that familiar to all students of physics.

Introduction to quantum theory

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.

Quantum Mechanics

M R C McDowell

Hendrik F Hameka 1981 New York: John Wiley xii + 387 pp price £24 This is a revised and updated version of the author's 1967 text Introduction to Quantum Mechanics. It was then thought particularly suitable for chemists, and indeed the new version has a flavour not unlike that of the classic Quantum Chemistry by Eyring, Walter and Kimball.

An Introduction to Quantum Theory

Jeff Greensite

Written in a lucid and engaging style, the author takes readers from an overview of classical mechanics and the historical development of quantum theory through to advanced topics. The mathematical aspects of quantum theory necessary for a firm grasp of the subject are developed in the early chapters, but an effort is made to motivate that formalism on physical grounds. Including animated figures and their respective Mathematica® codes, this book provides a complete and comprehensive text for students in physics, maths, chemistry and engineering needing an accessible introduction to quantum mechanics. Supplementary Mathematica codes available within Book Information

Introduction

Robert B. Griffiths

Scope of this book Quantum mechanics is a difficult subject, and this book is intended to help the reader overcome the main difficulties in the way to understanding it. The first part of the book, Chs. 2–16, contains a systematic presentation of the basic principles of quantum theory, along with a number of examples which illustrate how these principles apply to particular quantum systems. The applications are, for the most part, limited to toy models whose simple structure allows one to see what is going on without using complicated mathematics or lengthy formulas. The principles themselves, however, are formulated in such a way that they can be applied to (almost) any nonrelativistic quantum system. In the second part of the book, Chs. 17–25, these principles are applied to quantum measurements and various quantum paradoxes, subjects which give rise to serious conceptual problems when they are not treated in a fully consistent manner. The final chapters are of a somewhat different character. Chapter 26 on decoherence and the classical limit of quantum theory is a very sketchy introduction to these important topics along with some indication as to how the basic principles presented in the first part of the book can be used for understanding them. Chapter 27 on quantum theory and reality belongs to the interface between physics and philosophy and indicates why quantum theory is compatible with a real world whose existence is not dependent on what scientists think and believe, or the experiments they choose to carry out. The Bibliography contains references for those interested in further reading or in tracing the origin of some of the ideas presented in earlier chapters.

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.
