This textbook, now in an expanded third edition, emphasizes the
importance of advanced quantum mechanics for materials science and
all experimental techniques which employ photon absorption,
emission, or scattering. Important aspects of introductory quantum
mechanics are covered in the first seven chapters to make the
subject self-contained and accessible for a wide audience. Advanced
Quantum Mechanics: Materials and Photons can therefore be used for
advanced undergraduate courses and introductory graduate courses
which are targeted towards students with diverse academic
backgrounds from the Natural Sciences or Engineering. To enhance
this inclusive aspect of making the subject as accessible as
possible, introductions to Lagrangian mechanics and the covariant
formulation of electrodynamics are provided in appendices. This
third edition includes 60 new exercises, new and improved
illustrations, and new material on interpretations of quantum
mechanics. Other special features include an introduction to
Lagrangian field theory and an integrated discussion of transition
amplitudes with discrete or continuous initial or final states.
Once students have acquired an understanding of basic quantum
mechanics and classical field theory, canonical field quantization
is easy. Furthermore, the integrated discussion of transition
amplitudes naturally leads to the notions of transition
probabilities, decay rates, absorption cross sections and
scattering cross sections, which are important for all experimental
techniques that use photon probes.
