Principles of Quantum Mechanics - Hans C. Ohanian - 0137127952

In summary, the conversation was about the search for a specific book, "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" by Hans C. Ohanian. A PDF copy was not found, but a different book, "Principles of Physics: From Quantum Field Theory to Classical Mechanics" by Jun Ni, was suggested as an alternative. However, the person seeking the book stated that it was too advanced for their level and they did not support illegal downloads. The conversation was then closed.

used $9 to $19 https://www.amazon.com/dp/0137127952/?tag=pfamazon01-20

but found this in pdf
Title: Principles of Physics: From Quantum Field Theory to Classical Mechanics
Series: Tsinghua Report and Review in Physics (Book 2)
Author: Jun Ni
Format: PDF
Hardcover: 444 pages

more logical . all the formulas are derived from the formulas before them. The formalisms are also kept self-contained. Most of the required mathematical tools are also given in the appendices.

FAQ: Principles of Quantum Mechanics - Hans C. Ohanian - 0137127952

What are the main topics covered in "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" by Hans C. Ohanian?

The book covers a wide range of topics fundamental to quantum mechanics, including the historical development of the theory, wave-particle duality, the Schrödinger equation, quantum states and operators, angular momentum, spin, perturbation theory, and applications to atomic, molecular, and solid-state physics.

Is this book suitable for beginners in quantum mechanics?

"Principles of Quantum Mechanics" by Hans C. Ohanian is generally considered to be more suitable for students who have already been introduced to the basics of quantum mechanics. It is often used in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses and assumes a certain level of prior knowledge in physics and mathematics.

How does Ohanian's approach differ from other quantum mechanics textbooks?

Ohanian's approach is known for its clarity and thoroughness in explaining complex concepts. He emphasizes the historical context and logical development of quantum mechanics, providing a deeper understanding of the subject. The book also includes numerous problems and examples to help students apply the concepts they have learned.

Are there any prerequisites for understanding this book?

Yes, a solid understanding of classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and mathematics, particularly calculus and linear algebra, is essential for comprehending the material in this book. Familiarity with basic quantum mechanics concepts is also recommended.

Does the book include exercises and solutions?

Yes, "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" includes a variety of exercises at the end of each chapter. These exercises are designed to reinforce the material covered and to develop problem-solving skills.
