The Picture Book of Quantum Mechanics

The Picture Book of Quantum Mechanics by Siegmund Brandt, Hans Dieter Dahmen.

The aim of this book is to explain the basic concepts and phenomena of quantum mechanics by means of visualization. Computer-generated illustrations in color are used extensively throughout the text, helping to establish the relation between quantum mechanics—wave functions, interference, atomic str...
