An understanding of quantum mechanics is vital to all students of physics, chemistry and electrical engineering, but requires a lot of mathematical concepts, the details of which are given with great clarity in this book. Various concepts have been derived from first principles, so it can also be used for self-study. The chapters on the JWKB approximation, time-independent perturbation theory and effects of magnetic field stand out for their clarity and easy-to-understand mathematics. Two complete chapters on the linear harmonic oscillator provide a very detailed discussion of one of the most fundamental problems in quantum mechanics. Operator algebra is used to show the ease with which one can calculate the harmonic oscillator wave functions and study the evolution of the coherent state. Similarly, three chapters on angular momentum give a detailed account of this important problem. Perhaps the most attractive feature of the book is the excellent balance between theory and applications and the large number of applications in such diverse areas as astrophysics, nuclear physics, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, solid-state physics, and quantum well structures.

Globally, Quantum mechanics is a course that is offered to ALL undergraduate and graduate level students in Physics, Chemistry and Electrical Engineering. Consequently, every year a very large number of students study Quantum Mechanics. Thus, there is a big market for books on Quantum Mechanics and for this reason, there are many textbooks on Quantum Mechanics which are already available. So, the obvious question is that with so many good books already available, why should one change to this book? The book by Ghatak and Lokanathan is being extensively used in India and in spite of the fact that inexpensive Indian editions of almost all good books on Quantum Mechanics are available, a large number of universities in India have changed over to use this book as the main text primarily due to the following reasons: Because of what has been mentioned above, the book could be used as a successful text at many universities in Europe, Canada and USA.
