Applied quantum mechanics
Levi, A. F. J.
Applied quantum mechanics - Cambridge, U.K. ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2003. - xv, 523 pages : illustrations ; 1 CD-ROM (4 3/4 in.)
Includes index
Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Towards quantum mechanics; 3. Using the Schroedinger wave equation; 4. Scattering in one dimension: the propagation matrix method; 5. Eigenstates and operators; 6. The harmonic oscillator; 7. Fermions and bosons; 8. Time dependent perturbation; 9. The semiconductor laser; 10. Time-independent perturbation; 11. Angular momentum and the hydrogen atom; 12. Additional concepts; Appendix A. Table of physical values; Appendix B. Coordinates and trigonometry; Appendix C. Expansions, integrals, and mathematical relations; Appendix D. Linear algebra; Appendix E. Vector calculus and Maxwell's equations; Appendix F. The Greek alphabet; Index.
Written specifically for electronic and mechanical engineers and students, this book takes quantum mechanics out of the theory books and into the real world, using practical engineering examples throughout. Levi's unique approach engages the reader and keeps them motivated with numerous illustrations, exercises and worked solutions. Includes MATLAB examples on CD-ROM.
