1. Stern-Gerlach experiments -- 2. Operators and measurement -- 3. Schrödinger time evolution -- 4. Quantum spookiness -- 5. Quantized energies: particle in a box -- 6. Unbound states -- 7. Angular momentum -- 8. Hydrogen atom -- 9. Harmonic oscillator -- 10. Perturbation theory -- 11. Hyperfine structure and the addition of angular momenta -- 12. Perturbation of hydrogen -- 13. Identical particles -- 14. Time-dependent perturbation theory -- 15. Periodic systems -- 16. Modern applications of quantum mechanics -- Appendices -- Index
"This popular undergraduate quantum mechanics textbook is now available in a more affordable printing from Cambridge University Press. Unlike many other books on quantum mechanics, this text begins by examining experimental quantum phenomena such as the Stern-Gerlach experiment and spin measurements, using them as the basis for developing the theoretical principles of quantum mechanics. Direct notation is developed from the outset, offering an intuitive and powerful mathematical toolset for calculation, and familiarizing students with this important notational system. This non-traditional approach is designed to deepen students' conceptual understanding of the subject and has been extensively class tested. Suitable for undergraduate physics students, worked examples are included throughout and end of chapter problems act to reinforce and extend important concepts. Additional activities for students are provided online, including interactive simulations of Stern-Gerlach experiment, and a fully worked solutions manual is available for instructors." -- Back cover
