Description

Written for a two-semester graduate course in Quantum Mechanics, this comprehensive text helps develop the tools and formalism of Quantum Mechanics and its applications to physical systems. It suits students who have taken some introductory Quantum Mechanics and Modern Physics courses at undergraduate level, but it is self-contained and does not assume any specific background knowledge beyond appropriate fluency in mathematics. The text takes a modern logical approach rather than a historical one and it covers standard material, such as the hydrogen atom and the harmonic oscillator, the WKB approximations and Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization. Important modern topics and examples are also described, including Berry phase, quantum information, complexity and chaos, decoherence and thermalization, nonstandard statistics, as well as more advanced material such as path integrals, scattering theory, multiparticles and Fock space. Readers will gain a broad overview of Quantum Mechanics, as solid preparation for further study or research.

Author Biography:

Horațiu Năstase is Researcher at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, State University of São Paulo. He completed his PhD at Stony Brook with Peter van Nieuwenhuizen, co-discoverer of Supergravity. While in Princeton as a postdoc, in a 2002 paper with David Berenstein and Juan Maldacena, he started the pp-wave correspondence, a sub-area of the AdS/CFT correspondence. He has written more than 100 scientific articles and 5 other books, including Introduction to the AdS/CFT Correspondence (2015), String Theory Methods for Condensed Matter Physics (2017), Classical Field Theory (2019), Introduction to Quantum Field Theory (2019), and Cosmology and String Theory (2019).
