Advanced Visual Quantum Mechanics

Download or read book Advanced Visual Quantum Mechanics written by Bernd Thaller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-06 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual Quantum Mechanics is a systematic effort to investigate and to teach quantum mechanics with the aid of computer-generated animations. Although it is self-contained, this book is part of a two-volume set on Visual Quantum Mechanics. The first book appeared in 2000, and earned the European Academic Software Award in 2001 for oustanding innovation in its field. While topics in book one mainly concerned quantum mechanics in one- and two-dimensions, book two sets out to present three-dimensional systems, the hydrogen atom, particles with spin, and relativistic particles. Together the two volumes constitute a complete course in quantum mechanics that places an emphasis on ideas and concepts, with a fair to moderate amount of mathematical rigor.
