Synopsis

Quantum mechanics book with heavy emphasis on applications. Focuses on the physics of the applications, rather than on the mathematical structure. Order of magnitude estimates of effects are presented and calculated in detail. Nonclassical results are reconciled with classical expectations. In addition to core material, this edition contains new material on degenerate matter, the integral Quantum Hall Effect, the Einstein derivation of stimulated emission, lasers and the density matrix, exponential decay, and more. Features 60% more problems.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Enhance the thorough coverage of Gasiorowicz' Quantum Physics with a hands-on, real-world experience! Developed by the Consortium for Upper-Level Physics Software (CUPS), this computer simulation for quantum mechanics offers complex, realistic calculations of models of various physical systems. Quantum Mechanics Simulations (54884-7) is the perfect complement to Gasiorowicz' text. Like all of the CUPS simulations, it is remarkably easy to use, yet sophisticated enough for explorations of new ideas.
