Quantum Mechanics (Revised) (Paperback) (Alastair I. M. Rae & Jim Napolitano)

This textbook on quantum mechanics covers its early development; elementary wave mechanics based on the Schrödinger equations and their solutions in one and three dimensions; the formal foundations of quantum mechanics, including the theory of angular momentum and spin-orbit coupling; extensions and approximation schemes, scattering, and many-body systems; and advanced topics, including the Dirac equation, quantum information, and the conceptual problems of quantum mechanics. This edition has three new chapters on prerequisite physics and math, which address waves, electromagnetism, and the limits of classical physics, as well as more problems and short descriptions of relevant applications.
