Le Bellac, Michel.
Quantum physics / Michel Le Bellac ; translated by Patricia de Forcrand-Millard. - xix, 585 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 578) and index.
1. Introduction; 2. Mathematics of quantum mechanics I: finite dimension; 3. Polarization: photons and spin 1/2 particles; 4. Postulates of quantum mechanics; 5. Systems with a finite number of levels; 6. Entangled states; 7. Mathematics of quantum mechanics II: infinite dimension; 8. Symmetries in quantum physics; 9. Wave mechanics; 10. Angular momentum; 11. The harmonic oscillator; 12. Elementary scattering theory; 13. Identical particles; 14. Atomic physics; 15. Open quantum systems; Appendices; References.
In this textbook for a modern course on quantum physics for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, Le Bellac uses an original approach which relies primarily on an algebraic treatment and symmetry principles. In addition to standard topics the reader is introduced to more recent developments at an early stage.
