Résumé

This collection of solved problems corresponds to the standard topics covered in established undergraduate and graduate courses in Quantum Mechanics. Completely up-to-date, problems are also included on topics of current interest which are absent in the existing literature. Solutions are presented in considerable detail, to enable students to follow each step. The emphasis is on stressing the principles and methods used, allowing students to master new ways of thinking and problem-solving techniques. The problems themselves are longer than those usually encountered in textbooks and consist of a number of questions based around a central theme, highlighting properties and concepts of interest. For undergraduate and graduate students, as well as those involved in teaching Quantum Mechanics, the book can be used as a supplementary text or as an independent self-study tool.

Longer, multi-part problems encourage students to focus on the central theme of the problem

Detailed, analytical solutions are provided

Includes many 'new' problems on topics of current interest that are not yet encountered in existing literature
