Quantum Mechanics I Summary

Quantum Mechanics I: The Fundamentals by S. Rajasekar

Quantum Mechanics I: The Fundamentals provides a graduate-level account of the behavior of matter and energy at the molecular, atomic, nuclear, and sub-nuclear levels. It covers basic concepts, mathematical formalism, and applications to physically important systems.

This fully updated new edition addresses many topics not typically found in books at this level, including:

  • Bound state solutions of quantum pendulum

  • Morse oscillator

  • Solutions of classical counterpart of quantum mechanical systems

  • A criterion for bound state

  • Scattering from a locally periodic potential and reflection-less potential

  • Modified Heisenberg relation

  • Wave packet revival and its dynamics

  • An asymptotic method for slowly varying potentials

  • Klein paradox, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, and Bells theorem

  • Delayed-choice experiments

  • Fractional quantum mechanics

  • Numerical methods for quantum systems

A collection of problems at the end of each chapter develops students understanding of both basic concepts and the application of theory to various physically important systems. This book, along with the authors follow-up Quantum Mechanics II: Advanced Topics, provides students with a broad, up-to-date introduction to quantum mechanics.

Print Versions of this book also include access to the ebook version.

About S. Rajasekar

S. Rajasekar received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics both from St. Josephs College, Tiruchirapalli. He was awarded his Ph.D. degree from Bharathidasan University in 1992 under the supervision of Prof. M. Lakshmanan. In 1993, he joined as a Lecturer at the Department of Physics, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli. In 2003, the book Nonlinear Dynamics: Integrability, Chaos and Patterns written by Prof. M. Lakshmanan and the author was published by Springer. In 2005, he joined as a Professor at the School of Physics, Bharathidasan University. In 2016 Springer published Nonlinear Resonances written by Prof. Miguel A.F. Sanjuan and the author. In 2021 Professors U.E. Vincent, P.V.E. McClintock, I.A. Khovanov and the author compiled and edited two issues of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A on the theme Vibrational and Stochastic Resonances in Driven Nonlinear Systems. He has also edited Recent Trends in Chaotic, Nonlinear and Complex Dynamics with Professors Jan Awrejecewicz and Minvydas Ragulskis, published by World Scientic in 2022. His recent research focuses on nonlinear dynamics with a special emphasize on nonlinear resonances. He has authored or co-authored more than 120 research papers in nonlinear dynamics.

R. Velusamy received his B.Sc. degree in Physics from the Ayya Nadar Janaki Ammal College, Sivakasi in 1972 and M.Sc. in Physics from the P.S.G. Arts and Science College, Coimbatore in 1974. He worked as a demonstrator in the Department of Physics in P.S.G. Arts and Science College during 1974-77. He received an M.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai in the year 1981. In the same year, he joined in the Ayya Nadar Janaki Ammal College as an Assistant Professor in Physics. He was awarded a M.Phil. degree in Physics in the year 1988. He retired in the year 2010. His research topics are quantum conned systems and wave packet dynamics.
