Principles of quantum mechanics / Ramamurti Shankar.

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: New Delhi : Springer, c1994.Edition: 2nd edDescription: xviii, 676 p. : ill. ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9788181286864
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 530.12   22
Contents:
Mathematical Introduction -- Review of Classical Mechanics -- All Is Not Well With Classical Mechanics -- The Postulates-A General Discussion -- Simple Problems in One Dimension.- The Classical Limit -- The Harmonic Oscillator -- The Path Integral Formulation of Quantum Theory -- The Heisenberg Uncertainty Relations -- Systems with N Degrees of Freedom -- Symmetries and Their Consequences -- Rotational Invariance and Angular Momentum -- The Hydrogen Atom.- Spin -- Addition of Angular Momenta -- Variational and WKB Methods -- Time-Independent Perturbation Theory -- Time-Dependent Perturbation Theory -- Scattering Theory -- The Dirac Equation -- Path Integrals-II -- Appendix -- Answers to Selected Exercises -- Table of Constants -- Index.
Summary: R. Shankar has introduced major additions and updated key presentations in this second edition of Principles of Quantum Mechanics. New features of this innovative text include an entirely rewritten mathematical introduction, a discussion of Time-reversal invariance, and extensive coverage of a variety of path integrals and their applications. Additional highlights include: - Clear, accessible treatment of underlying mathematics - A review of Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics - Student understanding of quantum theory is enhanced by separate treatment of mathematical theorems and physical postulates - Unsurpassed coverage of path integrals and their relevance in contemporary physics
