B. H. Bransden and C. J. Joachain’s Quantum Mechanics is a comprehensive book on the principles of quantum mechanics, approximation methods and their vast applications in a large spectrum of systems. Summary of the Book Quantum Mechanics details on the core material in the subject and full information helps the students even with average mathematical skills and knowledge. The book consists of the most interesting Feynman’s path integrals, the Berry phase, Bose-Einstein condensation and quantum dots and jumps. There is a whole new chapter on Relativistic Quantum Mechanics. The origins and formalism of Quantum Mechanics Theory, Wave Function and The Uncertainty Principle, The Schrodinger Equation, Angular Momentum, Quantum Collision Theory, Quantum Statistics, Approximation methods for stationary and time-dependent problems, One-dimensional Examples, Several and many particle Systems, The interaction of Quantum Systems with radiation and with external electric and magnetic fields are some of the most thought provoking and resonant topics covered in the book. It also has solved problems and exercise problems for students. The book, in its essentiality is a must read for not only Physics students but also for any admirer of Physics as an intriguing and vibrant subject. About the Authors B. H. Bransden and C. J. Joachain are associated with Pearson publishing house. They have written and compiled prolifically on many concepts and theories of Physics. They have co-authored Physics of Atoms and Molecules. B. H. Bransden is the author of Charge Exchange and the Theory of Ion-Atom Collisions, The Pion-Nucleon System, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, The Fundamental Particles and Atomic Collision Theory among other works.
