Contents:
Cover; Title; Copyright; Contents; Preface; 1 Introduction; 2 One Dimension; 3 Approximate Methods; 4 Spin and Angular Momentum; 5 Two and Three Dimensions; 6 Matrix Methods and Perturbation Theory; 7 Time-Dependent Perturbations; 8 Electromagnetic Radiation; 9 Many-Particle Systems; 10 Scattering Theory; 11 Relativistic Quantum Mechanics; Index.
Summary: Covering the fundamentals as well as many special topics of current interest, this is the most concise, up-to-date, and accessible graduate-level textbook on quantum mechanics available. Written by Gerald Mahan, a distinguished research physicist and author of an acclaimed textbook on many-particle physics, Quantum Mechanics in a Nutshell is the distillation of many years' teaching experience. Emphasizing the use of quantum mechanics to describe actual quantum systems such as atoms and solids, and rich with interesting applications, the book proceeds from solving for the properties of a single.
