Foundations of Quantum Physics

Autor Charles E. Burkhardt, Jacob J. Leventhal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 oct 2010
This book is meant to be a text for a ?rst course in quantum physics. It is assumed that the student has had courses in Modern Physics and in mathematics through differential equations. The book is otherwise self-contained and does not rely on outside resources such as the internet to supplement the material. SI units are used throughoutexcept for those topics for which atomic units are especially convenient. It is our belief that for a physics major a quantum physics textbook should be more than a one- or two-semester acquaintance. Consequently, this book contains material that, while germane to the subject, the instructor might choose to omit because of time limitations. There are topics and examples included that are not normally covered in introductory textbooks. These topics are not necessarily too advanced, they are simply not usually covered. We have not, however, presumed to tell the instructor which topics must be included and which may be omitted. It is our intention that omitted subjects are available for future reference in a book that is already familiar to its owner. In short, it is our hope that the student will use the book as a reference after having completed the course. We have included at the end of most chapters a “Retrospective” of the chapter. Thisis notmeanttobemerelya summary,but,rather,anoverviewoftheimportance ofthe material andits placein the contextofpreviousandforthcomingchapters.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"This book is meant to be used for a first course in quantum mechanics and assumes that the student has taken a modern physics course and has had mathematics through differential equations. … The book reviews how to sketch wave functions for a variety of 1-D potentials and addresses the standard calculations for special cases. … Overall, this is an excellent book … . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates." (E. Kincanon, Choice, Vol. 46 (8), April, 2009)
"This textbook provides an introduction to quantum mechanics at an elementary level. … The presentation of the topics is very good and pedagogical. … Finally, many exercises and their solutions … are given. All in all, this book provides an excellent introduction to the field of quantum physics. It will be very useful to beginning students in quantum mechanics, and also to lecturers on this topic. It is highly recommended as a basis for a course, or even for self-study." (Axel Maas, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 m)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Intended to be used as a textbook for an introductory course in quantum mechanics at the undergraduate level, Foundations of Quantum Physics is also meant to be retained by the student for later use as a reference.  The presentation begins with the solution of some basic quantum mechanical problems.  The emphasis is on those features of the solutions that are unique to quantum physics.  It is only after these aspects of quantum physics are thoroughly discussed that the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics is presented and related to the previous chapters.  Throughout the book, the emphasis is on understanding the concepts and relating them to known phenomena.
Because the book is intended to serve as a reference long after it has been used as a textbook, it contains more material than an instructor can likely cover in a two semester course.  In keeping with this theme, there are topics included, not necessarily more advanced topics, that are not normally covered in introductory textbooks.
Charles E. Burkhardt and Jacob J. Leventhal are authors of Topics in Atomic Physics (Springer 2005). Foundations of Quantum Physics will serve nicely as a prequel to the Topics book.

Caracteristici

A “retrospective” included at the end of each chapter stresses the importance of the material covered and places it in the context of previous and future chapters The book is viewed as a reference that students can take into the real world and apply to careers as physicists The prose of the textbook is engaging to the student, as opposed to a lecture style of writing Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras Request lecturer material: sn.pub/lecturer-material
