Description for Quantum Mechanics in a Nutshell
Hardback. Emphasizing the use of quantum mechanics to describe actual quantum systems such as atoms and solids, and rich with interesting applications, this book proceeds from solving for the properties of a single particle in potential; to solving for two particles (the helium atom); to addressing many-particle systems. Series: In a Nutshell S. Num Pages: 416 pages, 58 line illus. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 262 x 177 x 34. Weight in Grams: 1032.
Covering the fundamentals as well as many special topics of current interest, this is the most concise, up-to-date, and accessible graduate-level textbook on quantum mechanics available. Written by Gerald Mahan, a distinguished research physicist and author of an acclaimed textbook on many-particle physics, Quantum Mechanics in a Nutshell is the distillation of many years' teaching experience.

Reviews for Quantum Mechanics in a Nutshell
"Praises in no way can do full justice to the strength and detail of Mahan's well crafted and superb nutshell book. I found the book fascinating, stimulating and convincing and one can easily observe that the book is bursting with intellectual energy and ambition. I am not a rated scientist but as a student and follower of science and scientific ... Read more
