Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisProvides comprehensive coverage of all the fundamentals of quantum physics. Full mathematical treatments are given. Uses examples from different areas of physics to demonstrate how theories work in practice. Text derived from lectures delivered at Massachusetts Institute of Technology., This book covers the fundamentals of quantum physics through the full Coulomb theory of the hydrogen atom, a semi-quantitative analysis of the helium atom, and a qualitative description of the build-up of the periodic table, ending with a brief discussion of radiation by atoms. The emphasis throughout is on the experimental and theoretical underpinnings of quantum mechanics with examples from various areas of physics selected to illuminate how the theory works in practice. The authors have chosen to concentrate on a development of the Schrödinger method, but have introduced the matrix notation and indicated some relations between the two descriptions.
