A graduate-level text that examines the semiclassical approach to
quantum mechanics Physical systems have been traditionally
described in terms of either classical or quantum mechanics. But in
recent years, semiclassical methods have developed rapidly,
providing deep physical insight and computational tools for quantum
dynamics and spectroscopy. In this book, Eric Heller introduces and
develops this subject, demonstrating its power with many examples.
In the first half of the book, Heller covers relevant aspects of
classical mechanics, building from them the semiclassical way
through the semiclassical limit of the Feynman path integral. The
second half of the book applies this approach to various kinds of
spectroscopy, such as molecular spectroscopy and electron imaging
and quantum dynamical systems with an emphasis on tunneling.
Adopting a distinctly time-dependent viewpoint, Heller argues for
semiclassical theories from experimental and theoretical vantage
points valuable to research in physics and chemistry. Featuring
more than two hundred figures, the book provides a geometric,
phase-space, and coordinate-space pathway to greater understanding.
Filled with practical examples and applications, The Semiclassical
Way to Dynamics and Spectroscopy is a comprehensive presentation of
the tools necessary to successfully delve into this unique area of
quantum mechanics. A comprehensive approach for using classical
mechanics to do quantum mechanics More than two hundred figures to
assist intuition Emphasis on semiclassical Green function and wave
packet perspective, as well as tunneling and spectroscopy Chapters
include quantum mechanics of classically chaotic systems, quantum
scarring, and other modern dynamical topics
