Quantum Mechanics: A Paradigms Approach (Hardcover)

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. Dirac 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 experiments, and a fully worked solutions manual is available for instructors.

這本廣受歡迎的本科量子力學教材現在由劍橋大學出版社以更實惠的價格重新印刷。與許多其他量子力學書籍不同，本書從研究實驗性的量子現象，如斯特恩-格拉赫實驗和自旋測量開始，以此為基礎發展量子力學的理論原則。從一開始就引入了狄拉克符號，提供了一個直觀且強大的數學工具集，用於計算，並使學生熟悉這一重要的符號系統。這種非傳統的方法旨在加深學生對該主題的概念理解，並經過了廣泛的課堂測試。適合本科物理學生使用，書中包含了豐富的例題，並在章末提供問題以加強和擴展重要概念。網上還提供了學生的額外活動，包括斯特恩-格拉赫實驗的互動模擬，並為教師提供了完整的解答手冊。
