Description
Learn the mathematics of quantum mechanics. Understand and solve Schrödinger's wave equation. A reader with one to two years of calculus (albeit rusty) and little exposure to physics will be able to follow the evolution from classical theory to quantum theory. What is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle? What is the difference between classical and quantum determinism? This book provides the bite-sized lessons that explain each concept with no steps left out. This is not a layman's overview of quantum mechanics. Real understanding and learning are contained within. Neither is this an unapproachable graduate level text. Undergraduates, high school students and, even, enthusiastic amateurs can learn to solve basic problems in quantum mechanics. How can a quantum particle tunnel through an energy barrier? What are the probabilities associated with electron spin? What is a qubit? What were the mathematics behind the 2022 Nobel prize in physics? The reader will be able to use the principles of quantum mechanics to answer these questions for themselves.
The second edition offers an additional chapter, more exercises, minor corrections and clarifying steps that a quantum mechanics adventurer may find helpful.
