Contents:
1. Stern-Gerlach experiments -- 2. Operators and measurement -- 3. Schrodinger time evolution -- 4. Quantum spookiness -- 5. Quantized energies: particle in a box -- 6. Unbound states -- 7. Angular momentum -- 8. Hydrogen atom -- 9.Harmonic oscillator -- 10. Perturbation theory -- 11. Hyperfine structure and the addition of angular momentum -- 12. Perturbation of hydrogen -- 13. Identical particles -- 14. Time dependent perturbation theory -- 15. Periodic systems -- 16. Modern applications of quantum mechanics-- Appendices-- Index.
Summary: This innovative new text presents quantum mechanics in a manner that directly reflects the methods used in modern physics research making the material more approachable and preparing students more thoroughly for real research. Most texts in this area start with a bit of history and then move directly to wave-particle problems with accompanying heavy mathematical analysis.
