Quantum Mechanics
Vol.2

This is a textbook on non-relativistic quantum mechanics that emphasizes clarification of the nature of the basic postulates and the interpretation of the theory. It contains special material, often only accessible in scientific journals, on bound states, scattering theory, and both analytical and approximation techniques. Applications to many branches of physics are given. Among the topics covered are one-dimensional problems, angular momentum, two-particle systems, symmetry transformations, collision theory, the WKB method, and stationary and time-dependent perturbation and variational techniques. Particles in an electromagnetic field, many-body systems, atoms, and radiation theory are studied. The book is a considerably improved and completely updated English translation of a very successful Spanish textbook and is aimed at students in their second year of university.
Ausführlicher als in anderen Büchern zur nichtrelativistischen Quantenmechanik üblich wird hier die Natur der Grundpostulate und die Interpretation der Theorie behandelt. Das Buch enthält Material zu gebundenen Zuständen, Symmetrien, Streutheorie, und zu analytischen wie zu Approximationstechniken. Das Buch ist eine beträchtlich verbesserte und auf den neuesten Stand gebrachte englische Übersetzung eines sehr erfolgreichen spanischen Lehrbuchs. Es richtet sich an Studenten ab dem 4. Semester.
