About this book

In the new edition supplements have been added at various places, includ­ ing the formulation of some of the problems. In all these additions I have attempted not to change the compact character of the book. The present (second) English edition is, besides the problems and smaller corrections, identical to the current German fourth edition. The proofs were read by B. Kaufmann, M. Hummel and A. Vilfan. I would like to thank all colleagues and students who made suggestions to improve the book as well as the pub­ lisher. Special thanks go to S. Clar for preparing the new 'JEX file. Munich, March 1995 F. Schwabl Preface to the First Edition This is a textbook on quantum mechanics. In an introductory chapter, the ba­ sic postulates are established, beginning with the historical development, by the analysis of an interference experiment. From then on the organization is purely deductive. In addition to the basic ideas and numerous applications, new aspects of quantum mechanics and their experimental tests are pre­ sented. In the text, emphasis is placed on a concise, yet self-contained, presen­ tation. The comprehensibility is guaranteed by giving all mathematical steps and by carrying out the intermediate calculations completely and thoroughly.

Reviews

FROM THE REVIEWS:

CONTEMPORARY PHYSICS
 "Any student wishing to develop mathematical skills and deepen their understanding of the technical side of quantum theory will find Schwabl's Quantum Mechanics very helpful".

CHOICE MAGAZINE
"This second, revised edition of a well-written work is excellently translated from the German. It is well organized with a historical introduction…the book is a very useful addition to the field. Upper-division undergraduate through professional.”

AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND PHYSICIST
"For its clear and concise presentation I find Schwabl’s book to be one of the three I would recommend for students to study…”

CONTEMPORARY PHYSICS
"…a well written and comprehensive text which students will find of much value.”

PHYSICALIA
"Among all the books which are devoted to quantum mechanics theory, I recommend this one which has the advantage to be very well presented and concise.”
