Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg combines exceptional physical
insight with his gift for clear exposition, to provide a concise
introduction to modern quantum mechanics, in this fully updated
second edition of his successful textbook. Now including six brand
new sections covering key topics such as the rigid rotator and
quantum key distribution, as well as major additions to existing
topics throughout, this revised edition is ideally suited to a
one-year graduate course or as a reference for researchers.
Beginning with a review of the history of quantum mechanics and an
account of classic solutions of the Schroedinger equation, before
quantum mechanics is developed in a modern Hilbert space approach,
Weinberg uses his remarkable expertise to elucidate topics such as
Bloch waves and band structure, the Wigner-Eckart theorem, magic
numbers, isospin symmetry, and general scattering theory. Problems
are included at the ends of chapters, with solutions available for
instructors at www.cambridge.org/9781107111660.
