Advanced Visual Quantum Mechanics is a systematic effort to investigate
and to teach quantum mechanics with the aid of computer-generated
animations. Although it is self-contained, this book is part of a
two-volume set on Visual Quantum Mechanics. The first book appeared in
2000, and earned the European Academic Software Award in 2001 for
oustanding innovation in its field. While topics in book one mainly
concerned quantum mechanics in one- and two-dimensions, book two sets
out to present three-dimensional systems, the hydrogen atom, particles
with spin, and relativistic particles. It also contains a basic course
on quantum information theory, introducing topics like quantum
teleportation, the EPR paradox, and quantum computers. Together the two
volumes constitute a complete course in quantum mechanics that places an
emphasis on ideas and concepts, with a fair to moderate amount of
mathematical rigor. The reader is expected to be familiar with calculus
and elementary linear algebra. Any further mathematical concepts will be
illustrated in the text.
This book has a home page (http: //vqm.uni-graz.at) that includes more
supplementary material, additional animations and visualizations,
Mathematica(R) notebooks, and further information."
