Quantum Mechanics by Thomas DeGrand

The subject of most of this book is the quantum mechanics of systems which have a small number of degrees of freedom. This book is a mix of descriptions of quantum mechanics itself, the general properties of systems described by quantum mechanics, and general techniques for describing their behavior. Topics covered includes: Quantum mechanics in the language of Hilbert space, Time dependence in quantum mechanics, Propagators and path integrals, Density matrices, Wave mechanics, Angular momentum, Identical particles, Time independent perturbation theory, Variational methods and Time dependent perturbation theory.

Advances in Quantum Mechanics

The development of quantum mechanics has taken physics in a vastly new direction from that of classical physics from the very start. In fact, there continue at present to be many developments in the subject of a very fundamental nature, such as implications for the foundations of physics, physics of entanglement, geometric phases, gravity and cosmology and elementary particles as well. It is hoped the papers in this volume will provide a much needed resource for researchers with regard to current topics of research in this growing area.
