Quantum Mechanics

This introductory course on quantum mechanics lays the foundation to advanced courses on the physics of atoms, elementary particles, and condensed matter in a concise, comprehensive style. The book meets the students' needs by giving all mathematical steps, worked examples with applications throughout the text, and many problems at the end of each chapter. It contains nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and a short treatment of the quantization of the radiation field. Besides the essentials, topics such as the theory of measurement, the Bell inequality, and supersymmetric quantum mechanics are discussed.
