Exercises in Quantum Mechanics

This second edition of "Exercises in Quantum Mechanics" has been revised, updated and enlarged in order to cater more comprehensively for the growing need of students of quantum mechanics to have a better insight and grasp of this fascinating but mathematically convoluted branch of physics. The number of illustrative problems solved has been increased from 114 to 228, and new exercises have been added to each of the chapters. The problems discussed have been chosen so as to involve a minimum of technical complexity whilst emphasizing the consequences of the quantum-mechanical formalism. Various chapters have been extended and three new chapters are included to make this volume more complete in its coverage of elementary quantum mechanics, principally by including material dealing with angular momentum coupling and tensor algebra. This edition should be especially useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of quantum mechanics and to all teachers of this subject.
