This book is meant to be a text for a ?rst course in quantum
physics. It is assumed that the student has had courses in Modern
Physics and in mathematics through differential equations. The book
is otherwise self-contained and does not rely on outside resources
such as the internet to supplement the material. SI units are used
throughoutexcept for those topics for which atomic units are
especially convenient. It is our belief that for a physics major a
quantum physics textbook should be more than a one- or two-semester
acquaintance. Consequently, this book contains material that, while
germane to the subject, the instructor might choose to omit because
of time limitations. There are topics and examples included that
are not normally covered in introductory textbooks. These topics
are not necessarily too advanced, they are simply not usually
covered. We have not, however, presumed to tell the instructor
which topics must be included and which may be omitted. It is our
intention that omitted subjects are available for future reference
in a book that is already familiar to its owner. In short, it is
our hope that the student will use the book as a reference after
having completed the course. We have included at the end of most
chapters a "Retrospective" of the chapter. Thisis
notmeanttobemerelya summary, but, rather, anoverviewoftheimportance
ofthe material andits placein the
contextofpreviousandforthcomingchapters.
