Applications are used as illustrations of the basic theory. The first two chapters serve as an introduction to quantum theory, although it is assumed that the reader has been exposed to elementary quantum mechanics as part of an undergraduate physical chemistry or atomic physics course. Following a discussion of wave motion leading to Schro?dinger's wave mechanics, the postulates of quantum mechanics are presented along with essential mathematical concepts and techniques. The postulates are rigorously applied to the harmonic oscillator, angular momentum, the hydrogen atom, the variation method, perturbation theory, and nuclear motion. Modern theoretical concepts such as hermitian operators, Hilbert space, Dirac notation, and ladder operators are introduced and used throughout. This text is appropriate for beginning graduate students in chemistry, chemical physics, molecular physics and materials science. 606 $aQuantum chemistry 615 0$aQuantum chemistry. 676 $a541.2/8 700 $aFitts$b Donald D.$f1932-$046832 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454673903321 996 $aPrinciples of quantum mechanics$9374113 997 $aUNINA
