Editorial Reviews: Review “Unlike many books published on quantum theory, this one has tied practical applications and provides practical insight into the engineering issues…It is a great book to learn from because of the author’s use of computational tools and practical examples along with engineering insight provided.” -Electrical Insulation Magazine Book Description An updated and expanded 2006 edition making quantum mechanics accessible to electrical and mechanical engineers, materials scientists and applied physicists.

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

⭐Very good. I still cannot figure out what a function is, though. Is it a fruit? An banana? No one will ever know.

⭐It is a very good reference. I just expected for the way to have the codes inside in the book.

⭐After a year long undergraduate sequence in quantum mechanics, I was left wondering what was the point to learning all this? Levi’s book provides the answer. He quickly reviews basic quantum mechanics then delves deep into its applications with problems relevant to materials scientists and electrical engineers.With a good foundation in introductory QM, I found this book a very easy read. Levi did a great job on making complicated material very easy to understand. It is also a great text for self-study. However, I feel without my formal introduction to QM, I would have struggled reading this book. I would recommend this book for people with some prior knowledge in QM who want to apply that knowledge to more “quantum mechanic-y” engineering problems.

⭐Levi’s book differs from standard QM texts, in furnishing more of an applied bent. Directed towards those students in applied physics, materials science and engineering. For example, there is a superb chapter on electron propagation in crystals. Where we see how to describe propagation by transmission matrices. And how energy bands arise due to the periodicity of the potential seen by electrons. Of course, solid state texts also discuss this. But the treatment here of such ideas as tunnelling, and using the WKB approximation to describe that tunnelling in a semiquantitative manner, is clear and detailed. Plus, the examples focus on important heterostructures, where band gap engineering is important.For semiconductor lasers, there is a similar treatment. With comparisons amongst the common types of laser diodes, like GaAs and InGaAsP.The numerous problems and the copiously worked out examples are also a nice feature of the text.

⭐This is a very practical quantum mechanics book. It tells you how to use quntum mechanics in many practical engineering situations. The worked problems at the end of each chapter help to enliven and reenforce the learning experience. The chapters on quantum tunneling is especially good. This book is suitable for students studying applied physics, materials science, electrical, electronic, mechanical engineering.

⭐It is very good book to learn more about the application of qm..
