"Quantum Mechanics - An Introduction" lays the foundations for the rest of the series on advanced quantum theory based on W. Grenier's highly successful course on advanced quantum mechanics and field theory. Starting with black-body radiation, the photoelectric effect and wave-particle duality, Grenier goes on to discuss the uncertainty relations, and spin and many-body systems; he includes applications to the hydrogen atom and the Stern-Gerlach and Einstein-de Haas experiments. The mathematics of representation theory, S matrices, perturbation theory, eigenvalue problems and hypergeometric differental equations are presented in detail, with 84 fully and carefully worked examples and exercises to consolidate the material. This second edition has been corrected where necessary, but remains otherwise unchanged.

Quantum Mechanics - An Introduction lays the foundations for the rest of the course on advanced quantum mechanics and field theory. Starting from black-body radiation, the photoelectric effect, and wave-particle duality, Greiner goes on to discuss the uncertainty relations, spin, and many-body systems; he includes applications to the hydrogen atom and the Stern-Gerlach and Einstein-de Haas experiments. The mathematics of representation theory, S matrices, perturbation theory, eigenvalue problems, and hypergeometric differential equations are presented in detail, with 84 fully and carefully worked examples and exercises to consolidate the material. This fourth edition has been revised and makes the book up-to-date again.
