Problems and Solutions in Quantum Mechanics by Kyriakos Tamvakis | (PDF) Free Download

Description

This collection of solved problems corresponds to the standard topics covered in established undergraduate and graduate courses in Quantum Mechanics. Problems are also included on topics of interest which are often absent in the existing literature. Solutions are presented in considerable detail, to enable students to follow each step. The emphasis is on stressing the principles and methods used, allowing students to master new ways of thinking and problem-solving techniques. The problems themselves are longer than those usually encountered in textbooks and consist of a number of questions based around a central theme, highlighting properties and concepts of interest. For undergraduate and graduate students, as well as those involved in teaching Quantum Mechanics, the book can be used as a supplementary text or as an independent self-study tool.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a superb difficult book, not for the faint-hearted. It contains solutions involving Green’s Functions and Propagators, not usully found in such books. Don’t look for detailed solutions to the “usual suspects” – if they’re there, they are there to support the more challening problems. The solutions do not always include as many steps as I like to include. Filling them in adds to one’s understanding of the method of solution. I didn’t always like the path the book tread and followed a different one – at least I had something to compare to 5 pages later. (The book’s solution was nearly always (if not, always) superior to mine. But you know “My solution, right or wrong, but my solution!”The problems are at a level (and some correspond to) the text by Mertzbacher. I showed the book to my QM professor and his response was to write down the ISBN. Not every type of problem at this level is solved and I would get Zetelli’s “Quantum Physics” to fill in gaps, say in WKB and Angular Momentum. There are a number of other useful books, for example, “Problems and Solutions in Quantum Mechanics” written in China based on US university qualifying exam problems, and a short, but very good, book from Cambridge U. Press: Squires – “Problems in Quantum Mechanics – with Solutions” which covers problems through time-dependent perturbation theory.

⭐Excellent set of problems. Well suited for an advanced undergraduate or junior graduate course.

⭐From all the quantum mechanics problems books out there, this contains the most advanced mathematics. It will prepare the reader for anything that can be found in any exam and could be really helpful for future researchers!Tamvakis’ book is the most appropriate book for becoming really skillful in doing quantum mechanics, although It mostly consists of highly mathematical exercises. It is clear from the start that there were carefully chosen. Make no mistake: anybody who works through this problems book will become masterful in solving highly mathematical Quantum Mechanics problems. The techniques that one must use to solve these are plentiful and very interesting. Although there are also other problems books on Quantum Mechanics, such as Galitski’s, the problems here are of different nature, which means that this book fills in a gap in the literature.
