Description

Supplementing "Quantum Mechanics. An Introduction" and "Quantum Mechanics. Symmetries", this book covers an important additional course on quantum mechanics, including an introduction to quantum statistics, the structure of atoms and molecules, and the Schroedinger wave equation. 72 fully worked examples and problems consolidate the material.

Table of Contents

1. Quantum theory of a free electromagnetic field 2. Interaction of an electromagnetic field with matter 3. Noninteracting fields 4. Interacting quantum fields 5. Renormalization problems 6. Nonrelativistic quantum field theory 7. Superfluidity 8. Pair correlations among fermions and bosons 9. Quasi-particles in plasmas and metals 10. Fundamentals of quantum statistics 11. Structure of atoms 12. Elementary structure of molecules 13. Feynman's path integral formulation of the Schroedinger's wave mechanics
