Michelsen1st ed. 2014.New York, NY :Springer New York :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (XIX, 361 p. 71 illus., 10 illus. in color.) Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-4791Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-4614-9304-8 Includes bibliographical references (pages [355]-356) and index.Introduction To Quirky Quantum Concepts -- Basic Wave Mechanics Concepts -- Riding the Wave: More on Wave Mechanics -- Introduction to Scattering -- Matrix Mechanics -- Angular Momentum -- Multi-Particle Quantum Mechanics -- Quantum Electromagnetic Radiation -- Desultory Topics in Quantum Mechanics -- Appendices.Quirky Quantum Concepts explains the more important and more difficult concepts in theoretical quantum mechanics, especially those which are consistently neglected or confusing in many common expositions. The emphasis is on physical understanding, which is necessary for the development of new, cutting edge science. In particular, this book explains the basis for many standard quantum methods, which are too often presented without sufficient motivation or interpretation. The book is not a simplification or popularization: it is real science for real scientists. Physics includes math, and this book does not shy away from it, but neither does it hide behind it. Without conceptual understanding, math is gibberish. The discussions here provide the experimental and theoretical reasoning behind some of the great discoveries, so the reader may see how discoveries arise from a rational process of thinking, a process which Quirky Quantum Concepts makes accessible to its readers. Quirky Quantum Concepts is therefore a supplement to almost any existing quantum mechanics text. Students and scientists will appreciate the combination of conversational style, which promotes understanding, with thorough scientific accuracy.Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-4791Quantum theoryMathematical physicsPhysicsMechanical engineeringQuantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Mathematical Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Mechanical Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17004Quantum theory.Mathematical physics.Physics.Mechanical engineering.Quantum Physics.Mathematical Physics.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Mechanical Engineering.530.12UK 1000rvkMichelsen Eric Lauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut791320MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300396403321Quirky Quantum Concepts1768682UNINA
