· UNDERGRADUATE TEXTBOOK
· New edition of best-selling textbook first published over 20 years ago, for a first course on quantum mechanics for physics, chemistry undergraduates.
· New chapters have been added on Relativistic Quantum Theory and Quantum Information; the latter includes discussions of quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation and quantum computing all of which have been front-line research topics during the last few years.
· The first edition was unusual for including a chapter on the conceptual and philosophical aspects of the subject. This has been largely re-written for the present edition so as to present an up-to-date account of work in this fascinating field.
· Earlier editions acquired a reputation for exceptional level of clarity of presentation. This has been maintained and extended in the present version with a more gradual introduction to the basic postulates and the inclusion of Dirac notation.
· Ideas are illustrated by up-to-date examples including scanning tunnelling microscopy, and the direct observation of the Bose-Einstein condensate.
· The book will be supported by a web page containing an up-to-date bibliography, colour versions of some of the illustrations and links to other relevant sites.
· Previous editions have sold around 1200 copies per year. The book is used widely for QM courses.
