Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Development

"the book is of greatest benefit to students of quantum mechanics who want to learn more than solely computational recipes and predictive tools of the theory, and, in this sense, the book really fills a gap in the literature".Mathematical Reviews, 1999

Introduction - the phenomena of quantum mechanics; mathematical prerequisites; the formulation of quantum mechanics; kinematics and dynamics; coordinate representation and applications; momentum representation and applications; the harmonic oscillator; angular momentum; state representation and determination; measurement and the interpretation of states; formation of bound states; charged particle in a magnetic field; time-dependent phenomena; discrete symmetries; the classical limit; phase-space quantum mechanics; scattering; identical particles; many-fermion systems; quantum mechanics of the electromagnetic field; Bell's theorem and its consequences.
