This advanced undergraduate-level text provides a formulation of the quantum theory in terms of qualitative and imaginative concepts outside classical theory. A broad range of specific applications follows, worked out in considerable mathematical detail. Also included: an examination of the relationship between quantum and classical concepts. Preface. Index.
Here's a sample of other books in this Dover category
Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems by Alexander L. Fetter, John Dirk Walecka Self-contained treatment of nonrelativistic many-particle systems discusses both formalism and applications in terms of ground-state (zero-temperature) formalism, finite-temperature formalism, canonical transformations, and applications to physical systems. 1971 edition.
Variational Principles in Dynamics and Quantum Theory by Wolfgang Yourgrau, Stanley Mandelstam Appropriate for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this historical and theoretical survey focuses on applications relevant to modern physics, offering valuable insights into the development of quantum mechanics. 1968 edition.
Quantum Field Theory by Jean-Bernard Zuber, Claude Itzykson This comprehensive text begins with the standard quantization of electrodynamics and perturbative renormalization, advancing to functional methods, relativistic bound states, broken symmetries, nonabelian gauge fields, and asymptotic behavior. 1980 edition.
Weak Interactions and Modern Particle Theory by Howard Georgi This high-level, rigorous, and technical treatment was written by a distinguished teacher and researcher. Equally valuable as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students and as a reference for professionals. 1984 edition.
Applications of Group Theory in Quantum Mechanics by M. I. Petrashen, J. L. Trifonov This advanced text explores the theory of groups and their matrix representations. The main focus rests upon point and space groups, with applications to electronic and vibrational states. 1969 edition.
