Quantum physics / Stephen Gasiorowicz. - second edition - x, 470 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 461-465) and index.
The limits of classical physics; wave packets and the uncertainty relations; the Schrodinger wave equation and the probability interpretation; eigenfunctions and eigenvalues; one-dimensional potentials; the general structure of wave mechanics; operator methods in quantum mechanics; n-particle systems; the Schrodinger equation in 3-dimensions (i); the Schrodinger equation in 3-dimensions (ii); angular momentum; the hydrogen atom; interaction of electrons with electromagnetic fields; operators, matrices and spin; the addition of angular momenta; time-independent perturbation theory; the real hydrogen atom; the helium atom; the structure of atoms; molecules; the radiation of atoms; selected topics in radiation theory; collision theory; the absorption of radiation in matter.
Suitable as an introduction to the subject, this text analyzes the results of calculations in detail, in order to extract the physical mechanisms that shape the formulas. This edition features updated material on degenerate matter, the integral quantum Hall effect, lasers and atomic cooling
