Dynamics, symmetry, and formalism are emphasized. An initial review of basic concepts from introductory quantum mechanics is followed by chapters examining symmetry, rotations, and angular momentum addition. Chapter 4 introduces the basic formalism of time-dependent quantum mechanics, emphasizing time-dependent perturbation theory and Fermi's golden rule. Chapter 5 sees this formalism applied to the interaction of radiation and mattDover Books on ChemistryQuantum chemistryQuantum theoryChemistryHILCCPhysical Sciences & MathematicsHILCCPhysical & Theoretical ChemistryHILCCQuantum chemistry.Quantum theory.ChemistryPhysical Sciences & MathematicsPhysical & Theoretical Chemistry541.2/8Schatz George C.1949-297894Ratner Mark A.1942-297896AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9911006808103321Quantum mechanics in chemistry75328UNINA
