The Picture Book of Quantum Mechanics: Includes CD-ROM, 3rd edition - Hardcover

From the reviews: "Most serious students of physics and all of their teachers will want to consider having this orderly and graphic outline of introductory quantum theory at their fingertips." American Journal of Physics "This is a unique book." Nature

This book aims to provide an intuitive understanding of wave mechanics by using computer generated illustrations to present the time evolution and parameter dependence of wave functions for one and three-dimensional systems. The situations discussed range from the simple particle in a box through resonant scattering in one dimension to the hydrogen atom and Regge classification of resonant scattering. The text helps students to establish the relation between quantum mechanics and classical physics.
