Progressing from the fundamentals of quantum mechanics (QM) to more
complicated topics, Quantum Mechanics: Foundations and Applications
provides advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a
comprehensive examination of many applications that pertain to
modern physics and engineering. Based on courses taught by the
author, this textbook begins with an introductory chapter that
reviews historical landmarks, discusses classical theory, and
establishes a set of postulates. The next chapter demonstrates how
to find the appropriate wave functions for a variety of physical
systems in one dimension by solving the Schroedinger equation where
for time-independent cases, the total energy is an eigenvalue. The
following chapter extends this method to three dimensions, focusing
on partial differential equations. In subsequent chapters, the
author develops the appropriate operators, eigenvalues, and
eigenfunctions for angular momentum as well as methods for
examining time-dependent systems. The final chapters address
special systems of interest, such as lasers, quarks, and hadrons.
Appendices offer additional material, exploring matrices,
functions, and physical constants. Relating theory with experiment,
Quantum Mechanics: Foundations and Applications provides both basic
and complex information for junior- and senior-level physics and
engineering students.
