About this book

Intended for beginning graduate students, this text takes the reader from the familiar coordinate representation of quantum mechanics to the modern algebraic approach, emphsizing symmetry principles throughout. After an introduction of the basic postulates and techniques, the book discusses time-independent perturbation theory, angular momentum, identical particles, scattering theory, and time-dependent perturbation theory. It concludes with several lectures on relativistic quantum mechanics and on many-body theory

Reviews

“The volume represents a solid and high level basis for lecturing in a first year graduate course on quantum mechanics. It is self-contained … provides future research workers with the tools required to solve real problems. ... More than 100 illustrations are included … . The volume can be used by students without previous knowledge of quantum mechanics and by researchers in the field; it represents a beneficial investment for libraries and individuals as well.” (V.Balan, zbMATH 0964.81001, 2022)
