Principles of Quantum Mechanics

摘要: Reviews from the First Edition: 'An excellent text? The postulates of quantum mechanics and mathematical underpinnings are discussed in a clear, succinct manner' - ("American Scientist"). 'No matter how gently one introduces students to concept Dirac's bras kets, many turned off. Shankar attacks problem head-on first chapter, very informal style suggests that there is nothing be frightened of' ("Physics Bulletin").Reviews Second 'This massive text 700 odd pages has indeed an get-up, verbal expressive, extensively worked out calculational details all just right for course. conversational, more like corridor talk or lecture notes, though arranged as text. It would particularly useful beginning those allied areas chemistry' ("Mathematical Reviews").R. introduced major additions updated key presentations this second edition "Principles Quantum Mechanics". New features innovative include entirely rewritten introduction, discussion Time-reversal invariance, extensive coverage variety path integrals their applications. Additional highlights include: accessible treatment underlying mathematics; review Newtonian, Lagrangian, Hamiltonian mechanics; student understanding theory enhanced by separate theorems physical postulates; and, unsurpassed relevance contemporary physics.The requisite advanced undergraduate- graduate-level students, Mechanics, Edition" fully referenced supported exercises solutions. book's self-contained chapters also make it suitable independent study well courses applied disciplines.
