Quantum Mechanics for Pedestrians 1

Jochen Pade

Published Jan 22, 2018• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The first edition of ‘Physics for Pedestrians’ was very well received. Repeatedly, I was asked to extend the considerations to relativistic phenomena. This has now been done in this second edition. Volume 1 contains elements of relativistic quantum mechanics, and Volume 2 contains elements of quantum field theory.

Intermediate Quantum Mechanics

R. Jackiw

Graduate students in both theoretical and experimental physics will find this third edition of Intermediate Quantum Mechanics , refined and updated in 1986, indispensable. The first part of the book deals with the theory of atomic structure, while the second and third parts deal with the relativistic wave equations and introduction to field theory, making Intermediate Quantum Mechanics more complete than any other single-volume work on the subject.

Quantum mechanics II : a second course in quantum theory

Rubin H. Landau

Here is a readable and intuitive quantum mechanics text that covers scattering theory, relativistic quantum mechanics, and field theory. This expanded and updated Second Edition - with five new chapters - emphasizes the concrete and calculable over the abstract and pure, and helps turn students into researchers without diminishing their sense of wonder at physics and nature.As a one-year graduate-level course, Quantum Mechanics II: A Second Course in Quantum Theory leads from quantum basics to basic field theory, and lays the foundation for research-oriented specialty courses. Used selectively, the material can be tailored to create a one-semester course in advanced topics. In either case, it addresses a broad audience of students in the physical sciences, as well as independent readers - whether advanced undergraduates or practicing scientists

Quantum Mechanics: Its Early Development And The Road To Entanglement And Beyond

Edward G. Steward

This book provides the reader with an explanation of the origin and establishment of quantum mechanics together with a descriptive survey of developments up to the present day. The mathematics is presented in a digestible form yet following the original approach. This second edition presents two new chapters to supplement and extend the first edition material. "Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics" surveys a wide range of current topics, including the multiverse, 't Hooft's ideas for a deterministic local field theory, a summary of the de Broglie-Bohm pilot-wave theory and Anthony Valentini's development of it, and speculative concluding comments on the way ahead.

Quantum mechanics : a self-contained course

David Atkinson, Mahouton Norbert Hounkonnou

This book is the first in a series of three volumes devoted to quantum mechanics and to quantum field theory. It is self-contained, and the only prerequisites are knowledge of integral calculus and partial differential equations, as well as Newton's mechanics of point masses. New subjects are developed in requisite detail at the various points where they are required. The mathematics is at the same time explicit but kept in check, so that the reader does not get bogged down in annoying generalizations that might distract him or her from the physics. Each chapter is complemented by ten problems, and the student is strongly advised to try them all by himself or herself before looking at our full solutions in the third volume.

Quantum mechanics : two volumes bound as one

Albert Messiah

"Strongly recommended" by the American Journal of Physics, this volume serves as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics as well as a reference for professionals. Clear in its presentation and scrupulous in its attention to detail, the treatment originally appeared in a two-volume French edition. This convenient single-volume translation begins with formalism and its interpretation, starting with the origins of quantum theory and examinations of matter waves and the Schrödinger equation, one-dimensional quantized systems, the uncertainty relations, and the mathema

Path Integral Quantization

Mark S. Swanson

This book is a self-contained and concise introduction to the techniques and applications of path integral quantization and functional techniques, aimed at students and practitioners. The first half of the text focuses on quantum mechanics, including a review of the action formulation of classical mechanics and quantum mechanics in the Dirac operator and state formalism, and further examination of the path integral. The second part examines relativistic field theories, reviewing special relativity, as well as derivation of the path integral representation of the vacuum transition element for quantized scalar, spinor, and vector fields from the coherent state representation of the respective field theories
