Exploring quantum mechanics: a collection of 700+ solved problems for students, lecturers, and researchers

Description

This book contains argubly the world's largest collection of problems in quantum physics, wich span just about the full scope of subjects in quantum theory ranging from elementary single-particle quantum mechanics in ome dimension to relativistic field theory and advanced aspects of nuclear physics -- There are more than 700 problems of various difficulty, accompanied by detailes solutions -- While som problems are elementary and may be accessible to advanced undergraduate students, some are at the research level that would be of challenge and interest to a practicing theoretical physist.;Preface; 1. Operators in Quantum Mechanics; 2. One-Dimensional Motion; 3. Orbital Angular Momentum; 4. Motion in Central Field; 5. Spin; 6. Time-Dependent Quantum Mechanics; 7. Motion in a Magnetic Field; 8. Perturbation Theory -- Variational Method -- Sudden and Adiabatic Action; 9. Quasi-Classical Approximation and 1/N-Expansion in Quantum Mechanics; 10. Particle Identity -- Second Quantization; 11. Atoms and Molecules; 12. Atomic Nucleus; 13. Particle Collisions; 14. Quantum Radiation Theory; 15. Relativistic Wave Equations; 16. Appendix.
