Overview

Motivates students by challenging them with real-life applications of the somtimes esoteric aspects of quantum mechanics that they are learning. Offers completely original excerices developed at teh Ecole Polytechnique in France, which is know for its innovative and original teaching methods. Problems from modern physics to help the student apply just-learnt theory to fields such as molecular physics, condensed matter physics or laser physics.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: This problem based textbook is a concise and particularly useful reference of quantum mechanics as used in a large range of modern applications in physics. ! At the end of each section worked solutions, references and general comments are given ! . this book of problems would be very useful for any physics departmental, or indeed individual research group, library. Highly recommended. (Lloyd C L Hollenberg, Australian Physics, Vol. 32 (6), 2007)
