QUANTUM MECHANICS, designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students of physics, mathematics and chemistry, provides a concise yet
self-contained introduction to the formal framework of quantum mechanics,
its application to physical problems and the interpretation of the theory.
Starting with a review of some of the necessary mathematics, the basic
concepts are carefully developed in the text. After building a general
formalism, detailed treatment of the standard material – the harmonic
oscillator, the hydrogen atom, angular momentum theory, symmetry
transformations, approximation methods, identical particle and
many-particle systems, and scattering theory – is presented. The
concluding chapter discusses the interpretation of quantum mechanics. Some
of the important topics discussed in the book are the rigged Hilbert
space, deformation quantization, path integrals, coherent states,
geometric phases, decoherene, etc. This book is characterized by clarity
and coherence of presentation.
