Description for Quantum Mechanics
Hardback. Teaches the often counterintuitive physics of quantum mechanics by working through detailed applications of general ideas. This book uses the hyperfine structure of atomic hydrogen (the 21 cm line): the computation of the energy splitting and the induced and spontaneous transition rates. It emphasizes the art of numerical estimates. Num Pages: 440 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 771.
P.J.E. Peebles teaches the often counterintuitive physics of quantum mechanics by working through detailed applications of general ideas. A principal example used in the book is the hyperfine structure of atomic hydrogen (the 21 cm line): the computation of the energy splitting and the induced and spontaneous transition rates. Peebles makes room for such calculations by omitting unneeded elements that can be readily found in the standard treatises after one fully understands the principles of quantum mechanics. To give a flavor of the discovery of the remarkable world picture of quantum mechanics, the author presents a set of examples of ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Mechanics
"Peebles applies quantum theory, often in simple, approximate ways, to a variety of interesting problems ... [It] could prove quite a rewarding book for the more able and motivated student."
