This volume discusses the principles of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, featuring a variety of approximation methods and the application of these methods to simple systems occuring in atomic, nuclear and solid state physics. In conclusion the authors discuss some of the difficulties that arise in the interpretation of quantum theory. Problem sets are provided to cover the most important topics and so help the student to monitor his understanding of the theory.
Part 1 Origins of quantum theory: the Compton effect; the Stern-Gerlach experiment; De Broglie's hypothesis. Part 2 The wave function and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Part 3 The Schrodinger equation and the Ehrenfest theorem. Part 4 One-dimensional examples. Part 5 The formalism of quantum mechanics. Part 6 Angular momentum. Part 7 The Schrodinger equation in three dimensions. Part 8 Approximation methods for stationary problems. Part 9 Approximation methods for time-dependent problems.
