Reviews"Richard Robinett has used his extensive experience in teachingundergraduate quantum mechanics to write an outstanding textbook with adistinctive flavor."--Uday Sukhatme, Foundations of Physics, "[A] very useful addition to the quantum mechanicsliterature...technically accurate and clearly and interestingly written."--R.D.Murphy, University of Missouri-Kansas City, in the American Journal ofPhysics, "...an excellently written, comprehensive treatment of quantum physics fundamentals. I definitely would choose Robinett's book as a main textbook, and I highly recommend it for the physics libraries."--Suaznne Amador, Physics Today, "I am impressed by the problems and the applied topics. A very good 'intermediate' text for chemistry students."--H. Strauss, University of California, Berkeley, "Although Quantum Mechanics is a text written for undergraduate physics students, it is a valuable book for chemists also....Often you find yourself coming back to a book in order to supplement a class or help you understand something more clearly. I think I have just found another book likethat!" -- Journal of Chemical Education, "Its wide range of subjects, assortment of applications and problems, and visual environment make it a valuable resource in the teaching and learning of quantum mechanics." -- Journal of Chemical Education, "Unique aspects of the book include and early and frequent use ofwavepackets and of the Fourier transform relationship between position andmomentum representations, as well as a challenging set of problems of which someare derived from recent experimental results. In addition to its use as acourse text for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students, the bookwould also be a useful resource for instructors." -- Choice, "[A] very useful addition to the quantum mechanics literature...technically accurate and clearly and interestingly written."--R.D.

It has a wonderful collection of up-to-date applications. Likely to become a standard for the introductory course."--Michael Lieber, University of Arkansas, "Good junior-level introduction to modern physics. Abundant graphics make it an attractive complement to the vast literature on this topic."--Miklos Gyulassy, Columbia University, "Richard Robinett has used his extensive experience in teaching undergraduate quantum mechanics to write an outstanding textbook with a distinctive flavor."--Uday Sukhatme, Foundations of Physics

SynopsisHow can we talk meaningfully about the past if it does not exist to be talked about? What gives time its direction? Is time travel possible? This defence of presentism - the view that only the present exists - makes an original contribution to a fast growing and exciting debate., Many of the familiar aspects of non-relativistic quantum mechanics were developed almost three quarters of a century ago, but the central role played by quantum physics in determining the properties of matter guarantees that new applications of the basic principles will continue to appear. Because the phenomena described by quantum theory are often remote from our daily existence, our intuition about the nature of quantum systems must be built up from sources other than direct experience; the visual display of quantitative information and qualitative ideas can play just as important a role in this learning process as do formal mathematical methods. Quantum Mechanics: Classical Results, Modern Systems, and Visualized Examples provides the student with a thorough background in the machinery of undergraduate quantum mechanics, with many examples taken from classic experiments in atomic, nuclear, and elementary particle physics. In addition, the use of visualization is heavily emphasized throughout., Many of the familiar aspects of non-relativistic quantum mechanics were developed almost three quarters of a century ago, but the central role played by quantum physics in determining the properties of matter guarantees that new applications of the basic principles will continue to appear.

In addition, the use of visualization is heavily emphasized throughout. The text also includes several other valuable features: * Emphasis on the classical limit of quantum mechanics and wavepackets * Enhanced presentation of momentum-space methods * Increased emphasis on numerical and approximation techniques * Separate chapters on classical wave phenomena and probability/statistics to provide needed background, as well as an appedix on classical Hamiltonian theory * A chapter devoted to two-dimensional quantum systems, designed to make contact with modern surface physics; this includes a brief discussion of classical and quantum chaos * Many problems as well as questions in which the student is asked to explore more conceptual aspects of the mind
