SynopsisThis innovative new text presents quantum mechanics in a manner that directly reflects the methods used in modern physics research--making the material more approachable and preparing students more thoroughly for real research. Most texts in this area start with a bit of history and then move directly to wave-particle problems with accompanying heavy mathematical analysis; Quantum Mechanics provides a foundation in experimental phenomena and uses a more approachable, less intimidating, more powerful mathematical matrix model. Beginning with the Stern-Gerlach experiments and the discussion of spin measurements, and using bra-ket notation, the authors introduce an important notational system that is used throughout quantum mechanics. This non-traditional presentation is designed to enhance students' understanding and strengthen their intuitive grasp of the subject., This innovative new text presents quantum mechanics in a manner that directly reflects the methods used in modern physics research making the material more approachable and preparing students more thoroughly for real research.

Most books start with a bit of history and then move directly to wave-particle problems with the incumbent heavy mathematical analysis; McIntyre, Manogue, and Tate aim to ground the reader's knowledge in experimental phenomena and use a more approachable, less intimidating, more powerful mathematical matrix model. Beginning with the Stern-Gerlach experiments and the discussion of spin measurements, and using bra-ket notation, Quantum Mechanics introduces readers to an important notational system that is used throughout quantum mechanics. This non-traditional presentation is designed to enhance readers' understanding and strengthen their intuitive grasp of the subject, and has been class tested extensively. The book takes advantage of the versatile SPINS software, which allows the reader to simulate Stern-Gerlach measurements in succession. This interaction gets to the heart of Quantum Mechanics, and introduces the reader to the mathematics they will be using throughout the course. A solid alternative to the classical books currently available, it is designed for junior- to senior-level Quantum Mechanics courses taken by physics majors. KEY TOPICS: Stern-Gerlach Experiments, Operators And Measurement, Schr dinger Time Evolution, Quantum Spookiness, Quantized Energies: Particle in a Box, Unbound States, Angular Momentum, Hydrogen Atom, Harmonic Oscillator, Perturbation Theory, Hyperfine Structure and the Addition of Angular Momentum, Perturbation of Hydrogen, Identical Particles, Time dependent perturbation theory, Periodic Systems, Modern Applications, Appendices.
