N1  - Includes index; Radiation (light) is a wave -- Difficulties of the wave theory of radiation -- Blackbody radiation -- Planck's quantum hypothesis : birth of quantum theory -- Bohr model -- Duality of light and matter -- Non-relativistic Schrödinger equation -- Applications of Schrödinger equation : potential (quantum) wells -- Multidimensional quantum wells -- Linear operators and their algebra -- Dirac bra-ket notation -- Matrix representations -- Spin operators and Pauli matrices -- Quantum dynamics and pictures -- Quantum harmonic oscillator -- Quantum theory of hydrogen atom -- Quantum theory of two coupled particles -- Time-independent perturbation theory -- Time-dependent perturbation theory -- Relativistic Schrödinger equation -- Systems of identical particles
N2  - The textbook covers the background theory of various effects discussed from first principles, as clearly as possible, to introduce students to the main ideas of quantum physics and to teach the basic mathematical methods and techniques used in the fields of advanced quantum physics, atomic physics, laser physics, nanotechnology, quantum chemistry, and theoretical mathematics. Many of the predictions of quantum physics appear to be contrary to our intuitive perceptions, and the student will learn how it comes about that microscopic objects (particles) behave in unusual ways that are called quantum effects, what we mean by quantum, and where this idea came from. The textbook is supplemented with Problems and Solutions in Quantum Physics, which contains a wide range of tutorial problems from simple confidence builders to fairly challenging problems that provide adequate understanding of the basic concepts of quantum physics
