About this title

Synopsis

The key to understanding quantum theory is to reinforce lecture attendance and textual study by working through plenty of representative and detailed examples. Firm belief in this principle led the author to develop his teaching style and to transform it into a text. This text features a large number of examples and exercises involving many of the most advanced topics in quantum theory. These examples give practical demonstrations of how to use the often subtle mathematics behind quantum theory. It presents a very important part of relativistic quantum mechanics: the wave equations for spin 0 and spin +. Chapter 1 deals with the Klein-Gordon equation and its properties and applications. The following chapters introduce the Dirac equation, investigate its covariance properties and present various approaches to obtain solutions. Numerous applications are discussed in detail, including the two-centre Dirac equation, hole theory and PCT symmetry, Klein's paradox and relativistic symmetry principles. The extensive presentation of the mathematical tools and the 62 worked examples and problems make this a useful text for the advanced quantum mechanics course.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
