The Quantum Mechanics Solver How to Apply Quantum Theory to Modern Physics / by Jean-Louis Basdevant, Jean Dalibard.

The Quantum Mechanics Solver grew from topics which are part of the final examination in quantum theory at the Ecole Polytechnique at Palaiseau near Paris, France. The aim of the text is to guide the student towards applying quantum mechanics to research problems in fields such as atomic and molecul...
