A Thorough Update of One of the Most Highly Regarded Textbooks on
Quantum Mechanics
Continuing to offer an exceptionally clear, up-to-date treatment of the
subject, Quantum Mechanics, Sixth Edition explains the concepts of
quantum mechanics for undergraduate students in physics and related
disciplines and provides the foundation necessary for other specialized
courses. This sixth edition builds on its highly praised predecessors to
make the text even more accessible to a wider audience. It is now
divided into five parts that separately cover broad topics suitable for
any general course on quantum mechanics.
New to the Sixth Edition
Three chapters that review prerequisite physics and mathematics, laying
out the notation, formalism, and physical basis necessary for the rest
of the book
Short descriptions of numerous applications relevant to the physics
discussed, giving students a brief look at what quantum mechanics has
made possible industrially and scientifically
Additional end-of-chapter problems with different ranges of difficulty
This exemplary text shows students how cutting-edge theoretical topics
are applied to a variety of areas, from elementary atomic physics and
mathematics to angular momentum and time dependence to relativity and
quantum computing. Many examples and exercises illustrate the principles
and test students understanding.
