Synopsis
A Cavendish quantum mechanics primer" (second edition) takes the reader, initially equipped only with maths from their penultimate school year, to well into the second year quantum mechanics course in physics at Cambridge. It is not a complete text book, but is a primer that aims to introduce essential ideas while emphasing skills and the solving of problems -- much in the style of the Cambridge physics course. It is used at the Senior Physics Challenge summer school in Cambridge. Chapter 1 revises essential mathematics and classical physics used throughout this book and in higher physics generally. Much of its material is also preparation of skills, fluency and mechanics for university entrance – for instance for Cambridge. Readers will find the required calculus and functions familiar, but will be guided for perhaps the first time to their use in solving physical problems. Such fluency and facility is essential for further study and for the transition to university. Subsequent chapters explore ideas of confinement and uncertainty energies, atoms, pair production, tunnelling into forbidden regions, the quantum oscillator and the quantisation of strings and oscillations of fields, higher dimensions, particles in nano-structures, and quantum dynamics. Readers are asked to solve such problems in their full mathematical depth. Many problems are solved as examples, others have hints only. The second edition implements corrections, some extra material and many new problems.
