If you need a book that relates the core principles of quantum mechanics to
modern applications in engineering, physics, and nanotechnology, this is it.
Students will appreciate the book’s applied emphasis, which illustrates
theoretical concepts with examples of nanostructured materials, optics, and
semiconductor devices. The many worked examples and more than 160 homework
problems help students to problem solve and to practise applications of theory.
Without assuming a prior knowledge of high-level physics or classical mechanics,
the text introduces Schrödinger’s equation, operators, and approximation
methods. Systems, including the hydrogen atom and crystalline materials, are
analyzed in detail. More advanced subjects, such as density matrices, quantum
optics, and quantum information, are also covered. Practical applications and
algorithms for the computational analysis of simple structures make this an
ideal introduction to quantum mechanics for students of engineering, physics,
nanotechnology, and other disciplines. Additional resources available from
www.cambridge.org/9780521897839.
