About this title

Synopsis:

Instructors, students and researchers interested in better understanding quantum mechanical principles and concepts through "Visual Quantum Mechanics." It is the first book with online materials on Springer Extras to take a comprehensive scientific visualization techniques approach to the subject.

Review:

From the reviews "The new introductory textbook by Bernd Thaller, Visual Quantum Mechanics, has two distinctive features, and an emphasis on dynamics. These two features work together well and make for a remarkable publication, which mathematically oriented readers will appreciate for the care it takes with rigorous aspects of physics. (...) Thaller has provided 137 modules illustrating different topics (...) I would venture to say that not only the beginning student, but even the seasoned scientist may benefit, by getting a clue to a new phenomenon or theorem. (...) In sum, Visual Quantum Mechanics can be profitably used as a major supplement in an undergraduate course on quantum mechanics, and it will certainly enliven the curriculum. It could be a superb stand-alone text in a short physics course or a seminar for mathematically oriented students." Evans M. Harrell II in: SIAM Review
