Synopsis

Perturbed Evolution has a closer link to Simple Systems than that volume has to Basic Matters, but any reader familiar with the subject matter of a solid introduction to quantum mechanics ? such as Dirac's formalism of kets and bras, Schr?dinger's and Heisenberg's equations of motion, and the standard examples that can be treated exactly, with harmonic oscillators and hydrogen-like atoms among them ? can cope with the somewhat advanced material of this volume. The basics of kinematics and dynamics are reviewed at the outset, including discussions of Bohr's principle of complementarity and Schwinger's quantum action principle. The Born series, the Lippmann?Schwinger equation, and Fermi's golden rule are recurring themes in the treatment of the central subject matter ? the evolution in the presence of perturbing interactions for which there are no exact solutions as one has them for the standard examples in Simple Systems.
