This book represents a concise summary of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics for physics students at the university level. The text covers essential topics, from general mathematical formalism to specific applications.
The formulation of quantum theory is explained and supported with illustrations of the general concepts of elementary quantum systems. In addition to traditional topics of nonrelativistic quantum mechanicsβincluding single-particle dynamics, symmetries, semiclassical and perturbative approximations, density-matrix formalism, scattering theory, and the theory of angular momentumβthe book also covers modern issues, among them quantum entanglement, decoherence, measurement, nonlocality, and quantum information.
Historical context and chronology of basic achievements is also outlined in explanatory notes. Ideal as a supplement to classroom lectures, the book can also serve as a compact and comprehensible refresher of elementary quantum theory for more advanced students.
A Condensed Course of Quantum Mechanics by Pavel Cejnar is an indispensable resource for those wishing to deepen their understanding of quantum mechanics.
