Description
The aim of this book is to explain the basic concepts and phenomena of quantum mechanics by means of visualisation. Computer-generated illustrations in color are used extensively throughout the text, helping to establish the relation between quantum mechanics—wave functions, interference, atomic structure, and so forth—and classical physics—point mechanics, statistical mechanics, and wave optics. Even more important, by studying the pictures in parallel with the text, readers develop an intuition for such notoriously abstract phenomena as:the tunnel effect excitation and decay of metastable states wave-packet motion within a well systems of distinguishable and indistinguishable particles free wave packets and scattering in 3 dimensions angular-momentum decomposition stationary bound states in various 3-dimensional potentials hybrid states Kepler motion of wave packets in the Coulomb field spin and magnetic resonance Illustrations from experiments in a variety of fields, including chemistry, and molecular, atomic, nuclear, and particle physics, underline the basic as well as the practical importance of quantum mechanics. In the present, fourth edition all computer graphics are presented in full colour. It also contains additional physics topics such as hybridisation.
User’s Reviews
Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐This book on its own is not enough to understand the mathematics and physics that is required for an introductory course in quantum theory and quantum mechanics as a whole. It is an amazing supplement to any other material you might use to understand some sort of a physical representation to the nature of some of the phenomena associated.The visualizations and graphs shed some much needed light on many topics, especially if you are doing this exploration on your own.Don’t expect the mathematics to be easy, and definitely don’t expect everything in the book to be clear from the first instance but the visualizations truly give you a clearer picture of what is discussed. (something to imagine as you flip the equations around your head).I personally jump from one material to another and return to the picture book to help me sink in the maths and the mind twisting revelations of QM.Excellent addition to any serious library about quantum mechanics. Just wish it can be expanded with an excellent introduction and discussion like in Principles of Quantum Mechanics by R. Shankar.
⭐Prompt delivery and properly packed to prevent any damage.I have several options to choose from, which enables me to select the best quality at the lowest price.
⭐Description says book is in color, but mine doesn’t have one color image in the entire book.
⭐The best for beginning!
⭐As described
⭐The letters of the formulas are too small. It is very difficult to read them
⭐This book is totally excellent. This book sheds much light on quantum mechanics with its excellent graphical representations of the functions involved. The CD-ROM is also great. The companion book which introduces the computer software usd to generate many of these graphics is also great and brings a physics lab into your own room (well as far as is possible)! These books make the reader feel like a physicist rather than a recipient of some authour’s bruised ego as the authour tries to confuse the reader by demonstrating ‘mathematical prowess’ by making their subject dull and unintelligible. This book is beautiful and inspiring and a must for anyone interested in quantum mechanics. The text contains a lot of detail, but the accompanying images make even the harder parts a joy to read. Since reading this book I have decided that a proper physics book is not simply a half-explained mathematical proof splattered on paper with accompanying problems that try to out-smart competing authours, but a good physics book is, like this one, about physics! Physics can be a very visual subject, so let’s make it so! If more books were as well thought out as this one then we would have more first-class physicists!
⭐I have the old edition.This Edition is lovely.Colour and extra stuff.Very interested in physics and computers.Packed well and came on time.Very happy with it.
⭐Die vierte Ausgabe soll farbige Grafiken haben. Die gelieferte Version hat das aber nicht. Sie enthält am Ende des Buches die Bemerkung “Printed in Germany, by Amazon Distribution GmbH, Leipizg”. Das scheint der Grund zu sein.Es gibt zwei Versionen. Diese ohne Farbe ist;Taschenbuch : 496 SeitenISBN-10 : 1493936956ISBN-13 : 978-1493936953Größe und/oder Gewicht : 15.49 x 2.84 x 23.5 cmHerausgeber : Springer; 4th ed. 2012 Auflage (19. Juli 2012)Das gleiche Buch gibt es auch als (dann wohl als orignal Springer) als:Gebundene Ausgabe : 488 SeitenISBN-10 : 1461439507ISBN-13 : 978-1461439509Größe und/oder Gewicht : 16.26 x 2.79 x 23.62 cmHerausgeber : Springer; 4th ed. 2012 Auflage (19. Juli 2012)Sprache: : EnglischMan beachte die unterschiedlichen ISBN.Es sieht im Cover gleich aus hat, aber noch “Springer Extra” logo links unten und kostet nur ein Euro mehr.Die Druckqualität dieses “printed by .. Amazon..” ist zusätzlich zum Schwarz/Weiß auch nicht sehr gut.Sehr ärgerlich das Ganze. Aber die Rückgabe klappt natürlich, wie man es gewöhnt ist, sehr gut.—————————-Ich habe jetzt auch die Hardcover “orginal” Springer Ausgabe im Austausch bekommen. Die ist sehr empfehlenswert und die Bilder (in Farbe !) sehr lehrreich.l’impression papier est de mauvaise qualité. un chapitre entier n’est pas centré correctement. il manque une partie du texte et des illustrations comme on peut le constater sur la photo.
