Written for a two-semester graduate course in Quantum Mechanics, this
comprehensive text helps develop the tools and formalism of Quantum
Mechanics and its applications to physical systems. It suits students
who have taken some introductory Quantum Mechanics and Modern Physics
courses at undergraduate level, but it is self-contained and does not
assume any specific background knowledge beyond appropriate fluency in
mathematics. The text takes a modern logical approach rather than a
historical one and it covers standard material, such as the hydrogen
atom and the harmonic oscillator, the WKB approximations and
Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization. Important modern topics and examples are
also described, including Berry phase, quantum information, complexity
and chaos, decoherence and thermalization, nonstandard statistics, as
well as more advanced material such as path integrals, scattering
theory, multiparticles and Fock space. Readers will gain a broad
overview of Quantum Mechanics, as solid preparation for further study
or research.
