This authoritative, advanced introduction provides a complete,
modern perspective on quantum mechanics. It clarifies many common
misconceptions regarding wave/particle duality and the correct
interpretation of measurements. The author develops the text from
the ground up, starting from the fundamentals and presenting
information at an elementary level, avoiding unnecessarily detailed
and complex derivations in favor of simple, clear explanations. He
begins in the simplest context of a two-state system and shows why
quantum mechanics is inevitable, and what its relationship is to
classical mechanics. He also outlines the decoherence approach to
interpreting quantum mechanics. Distinguishing features: Provides a
thorough grounding in the principles and practice of quantum
mechanics, including a core understanding of the behavior of atoms,
molecules, solids, and light. Utilizes easy-to-follow examples and
analogies to illustrate important concepts. Helps develop an
intuitive sense for the field, by guiding the reader to understand
how the correct formulas reduce to the non-relativistic ones.
Includes numerous worked examples and problems for each chapter.
