    Corresponding to the standard topics covered in established undergraduate courses in Quantum Mechanics, this collection of solved problems is completely up-to-date. The book also includes problems on topics of current interest absent in the existing literature. Solutions are presented in considerable detail, to enable students to follow each step. The emphasis is on stressing the principles and methods used, allowing students to master new ways of thinking and problem-solving techniques. The book can be used as a supplementary text or as an independent self-study tool.

    • Longer, multi-part problems encourage students to focus on the central theme of the problem
    • Detailed, analytical solutions are provided
    • Includes many problems on topics of interest that are rarely encountered in existing literature
