Physical Problems in Quantum Mechanics

Más información sobre el libro

Focused on mathematical physics, this book guides undergraduate students through key quantum mechanics problems, emphasizing the mathematical framework necessary for understanding physical phenomena. It follows historical approaches from the 1920s and 1930s, solving Schrödinger's differential equations for various systems, including the hydrogen atom and harmonic oscillator. The text explores solutions in both position and momentum bases, delving into molecular bonding and the Dirac equation, which introduces the electron's nature and its predicted partner, the positron.
