Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, Twelve Lectures in Quantum Mechanics presents theoretical physics with a breathtaking array of examples and anecdotes. Basdevant’s style is clear and stimulating, in the manner of a brisk lecture that can be followed with ease and enjoyment. Here is a sample of the book’s style, from the opening of Chapter 1: "If one were to ask a passer-by to quote a great formula of physics, chances are that the answer would be ‘E = mc2’.... There is no way around it: all physics is quantum, from elementary particles, to stellar physics and the Big Bang, not to mention semiconductors and solar cells."
"Ideally suited to a one-year graduate course, this textbook is also a useful reference for researchers.
Now including six brand new sections covering key topics such as the rigid rotator and quantum key distribution, as well as major additions to existing topics throughout, this revised edition is ideally suited to a one-year graduate course ...
Four concise, brilliant lectures on mathematical methods in quantum mechanics from Nobel Prize–winning quantum pioneer build on idea of visualizing quantum theory through the use of classical mechanics.
... the work of Alain Aspect and collaborators who checked the correlation between photons in a variety of configurations ( Aspect , Graingier & Roger 1981 ) , ( Aspect , Graingier & Roger 1982b ) , ( Aspect , Dalibard & Roger 1982a ) .
Describes the relation between classical and quantum mechanics. This book contains a discussion of problems related to group representation theory and to scattering theory.
In presenting the principles of quantum mechanics in an inductive way, this book has already proved very popular with students in its Italian language version.It complements the exercises and solutions book "Problems in Quantum Mechanics", ...
Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg demonstrates exceptional insight in this fully updated concise introduction to modern quantum mechanics for graduate students.
Selected problems are collected at the end of each chapter in addition to the numerous exercises sprinkled throughout the text.The book is written in a simple and elegant style, and is characterized by clarity, depth and excellent ...
I thank Jean Dalibard, who is now my successor, and Philippe Grangier for their constant help during the last 10 to 15 years. They are, in partic- ular, responsible for part of the text on quantum entanglement and Bell's inequalities, ...
Note: The three volumes are not sequential but rather independent of each other and largely self-contained.Basic Matters is a first introduction to quantum mechanics that does not assume any prior knowledge of the subject.
