Quantum Mechanics (Paperback)

"Rates with Dirac's book as one of the best expositions of quantum theory available in the English language." — American Scientist
"A fine translation of a remarkable book, which is recommended to every serious student of theoretical physics." — F. J. Belinfante, Science
"Full and leisurely development ... detailed without being tedious ... This is a book that all who study quantum theory will want to read." — J. Polkinghorne, Physics Today
"Throughout one is conscious of being under the guidance of someone who has thought very deeply and carefully about all the various aspects of quantum theory, and who is able to express his ideas in a most stimulating and lucid way." — K. W. H. Stevens, Proceedings of the Physical Society
A masterful treatment of quantum theory, this classic work develops the subject's most important concepts from experimental evidence and from theory related to the wave nature of free particles. The first half shows how the classical mechanics of point particles can be generalized into a consistent quantum mechanics; the second part deals with extensions of quantum theory needed for problems of atomic and molecular structure. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in physics as well as historians of modern science, this universally praised translation will be a valuable addition to any physical science library.

「與狄拉克的書一樣，被譽為英語中最好的量子理論解說之一。」-《美國科學家》
「這是一本出色的翻譯，值得每一位嚴肅的理論物理學生閱讀。」- F. J. Belinfante，《科學》
「全面而悠閒的發展...詳細而不冗長...這是一本所有研究量子理論的人都想閱讀的書。」- J. Polkinghorne，《物理學今日》
「在整個過程中，人們會意識到自己正受到一位深思熟慮地思考量子理論各個方面的人的指導，他能以最具刺激性和清晰明瞭的方式表達自己的想法。」- K. W. H. Stevens，《物理學會議記錄》
這本經典著作是量子理論的一個精彩處理，從實驗證據和與自由粒子的波動性相關的理論中發展出了該主題最重要的概念。上半部分展示了如何將點粒子的古典力學推廣為一致的量子力學；下半部分則處理了擴展量子理論，以解決原子和分子結構的問題。適合物理學高年級本科生和研究生以及現代科學史學者閱讀，這本廣受好評的翻譯將成為任何物理科學圖書館中的寶貴資源。
