Quantum Mechanics (Paperback)

<內容簡介>

"Strongly recommended" by the American Journal of Physics, this volume serves as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics as well as a reference for professionals. Clear in its presentation and scrupulous in its attention to detail, the treatment originally appeared in a two-volume French edition. This convenient single-volume translation begins with formalism and its interpretation, starting with the origins of quantum theory and examinations of matter waves and the Schrodinger equation, one-dimensional quantized systems, the uncertainty relations, and the mathematical framework and physical content of formalism.
The second half opens with an exploration of symmetries and invariance, including a consideration of angular momentum, identical particles and the Pauli exclusion principle, invariance and conservation laws, and time reversal. Methods of approximation include those involving stationary perturbations, the equation of motion, variational method, and collision theory. The final chapters review the elements of relativistic quantum mechanics, and each of the two volumes concludes with useful appendixes.

這本書被《美國物理學雜誌》強烈推薦，適合物理學高年級本科生和研究生使用，也是專業人士的參考書。該書在呈現上非常清晰，對細節非常謹慎，最初是以兩卷本的法文版出版。這本方便的單卷翻譯從形式主義及其解釋開始，從量子理論的起源、物質波和薛定諾方程、一維量子化系統、不確定關係，以及形式主義的數學框架和物理內容進行探討。

第二部分開始探討對稱性和不變性，包括角動量、相同粒子和泡利排斥原理、不變性和守恆定律，以及時間反演。近似方法包括靜態微擾、運動方程、變分法和碰撞理論。最後幾章回顧了相對論量子力學的要素，每卷書都附有有用的附錄。
