About the Author
Mark Swanson received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1976 under the supervision of Justin Huang. After postdoctoral appointments at the University of Alberta and the University of Connecticut he held a faculty appointment at the University of Connecticut at Stamford from 1983 to 2014, during which time he spent six years in university administrative roles. He is the author of 25 research articles and four monographs, with an emphasis on field theory and path integral techniques. He is currently Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Connecticut and lives in Monroe, Connecticut.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This extended and updated second edition course text presents a logical and concise introduction to the basic concepts, applications, and physical meaning of quantum mechanics. An initial review of classical mechanics and electromagnetism provides the reader with the context for quantum mechanics. Starting with atomic level experimental results, the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics is derived, with the wave function related to the statistical theory of random variables. Applying the requirement of Galilean invariance yields the Schrodinger equation, and the Copenhagen interpretation of the wave function is discussed. After numerous basic applications of wave mechanics, including the hydrogen atom and the harmonic oscillator, the text then presents Dirac notation and Hilbert space theory. New chapters discuss perturbation theory, path integrals, scattering theory, and quantum entanglement.Key FeaturesExtended and updated edition of a well-used textbookOffers a thorough connection to classical mechanics and electromagnetismProvides a logical development of basic quantum mechanical concepts and a connection to formal quantum mechanicsActs as a complete introduction to the most important quantum mechanical results in basic systemsAn introductory text that provides connections to the current research in quantum computing and measurement theory This extended and updated second edition course text presents a logical and concise introduction to the basic concepts, applications, and physical meaning of quantum mechanics.
