Add to basketDruck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides a comprehensive introduction to quantum mechanics, supported by numerous solved exercises. Aiming to be both exhaustive and educational, it minimises overly formal aspects by presenting the wave mechanical approach to quantum mechanics. The book simplifies and rigorously covers a large set of fundamental topics such as potential wells and barriers, wave packets, harmonic oscillators, and the hydrogen atom. It also addresses spin and, in simple terms, the conceptual difficulties of quantum physics and Bell's inequalities. The discussion extends to relativistic quantum mechanics. Each chapter includes exercises designed to test comprehension and facilitate optimal assimilation of the material, and are followed by detailed solutions. Intended for both personal study and course support, this book is valuable for anyone curious about the subject. However, it is specifically targeted at undergraduate and master's students in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, as well as engineering students.

Daniel Baye was Full Professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) until he retired in 2010. He taught various courses in quantum physics and nuclear physics for the second to the fifth year of engineering studies at the Ecole Polytechnique of ULB. He wrote several lecture notes, some of which inspired the proposed book. He also prepared and tested with his students a large number of exercises in those fields. Earlier in his career, he was also involved in teaching linear algebra and numerical computation. He wrote more than 230 articles in peer-reviewed international journals. He has been very active in several international collaborations, mostly with Japan. He supervised 17 doctoral theses and continues helping Ph.D. students. His main domain of interest is nuclear physics and the theory of reactions. He developed several microscopic models of nuclei, that is, involving all nucleons.
Marianne Dufour is Assistant Professor at the University of Strasbourg, France. She obtained her doctorate in theoretical physics in 1986 and completed her habilitation in theoretical nuclear physics in 2003. Her research mainly focuses on the quantum many-body problem in nuclear physics or atomic physics. She also worked on realistic interactions useful in shell model calculations. She has given many physics lessons, having taught more than 7000h at all levels of the university’s educational system. Of note, she also had several important responsibilities at the University of Strasbourg. For example, for many years she managed physics in the so-called MPA training of excellence, which covers the first two years of physics and mathematics modules.
Benjamin Fuks is Professor at Sorbonne Université, Paris,France and Member of the Laboratory of Theoretical and High Energy Physics (LPTHE). He is involved in teaching at the bachelor and master levels, exploring regularly the usage of novel active learning methods. His research activities address the phenomenology of theories beyond the standard model of particle physics (prospective studies at present and future colliders, reinterpretation of existing experimental results), precision calculations for new physics processes (next-to-leading-order corrections in the theory of the strong interactions, resummation of the associated radiative corrections), and the development of simulation tools dedicated to collider physics (Monte-Carlo event generators and satellite programs).
Alan S. Cornell is Professor at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. His primary research interests lie in the phenomenology of theories beyond the standard model of particle physics. This includes studies on extra-dimensional models and the behaviour of couplings at higher energy scales, which are pivotal in understanding fundamental forces and particles at a deeper level. Alan S. Cornell has also made advancements in the study of quasinormal modes in various black hole backgrounds, where his work in this area involves developing novel numerical approaches to investigate these perturbations, with an aim at enhancing our comprehension of black hole dynamics and gravitational waves. In addition to these researches, he is deeply committed to physics education, and has conducted research into undergraduate pedagogy and postgraduate supervision practices, aiming to improve their quality and effectiveness.

General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes...
**Right of withdrawal for consumers **
(A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity.)
Cancellation
Withdrawal
You have the right to revoke this contract within fourteen days without giving reasons.
The revocation period is fourteen days from the day,
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods, provided that you have ordered one or more goods within the framework of a uniform order and these are or will be delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last goods, provided that you have ordered several goods within the framework of a single order and these are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the last partial shipment or the last piece, provided that you have ordered goods that are delivered in several partial shipments or pieces;
In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (AHA-BUCH GmbH, Garlebsen 48, 37574 Einbeck, telephone number: 05563 9996039, fax number: 05563 9995974, e-mail address: service@aha-buch.de) of your decision to revoke this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.B. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You can use the attached model withdrawal form, but this is not mandatory.
To comply with the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of revocation before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of revocation
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a different type of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your revocation of this contract.
For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.
You must return or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any case at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the period of fourteen days.
You bear the direct costs of returning the goods.
You only have to pay for any loss of value of the goods if this loss of value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary to check the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Reasons for exclusion or extinction
The right of revocation does not apply to contracts
The right of revocation expires prematurely in the case of contracts
