商品描述

This textbook offers a unique introduction to quantum mechanics progressing gradually from elementary quantum mechanics to aspects of particle physics. It presents the microscopic world by analysis of the simplest possible quantum mechanical system (spin 1/2). A special feature is the author's use of visual aids known as process diagrams, which show how amplitudes for quantum mechanical processes are computed. The second edition includes a new chapter and problems on time-dependent processes, in addition to new material on quantum computing and improved illustrations.

Key Features:

Provides a completely updated text with expanded contents.
Includes a brand new chapter on time-dependent processes and expanded coverage of recent developments in particle physics.
Emphasizes a visual approach employing process diagrams and utilizing new figures.
Incorporates quantum information theory in a new appendix, with other helpful supplements on notation, lattice models, weak flavor mixing, and numerical simulations.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書提供了一個獨特的量子力學入門，逐步從基本的量子力學進展到粒子物理的各個方面。它通過分析最簡單的量子力學系統（自旋 1/2）來呈現微觀世界。一個特別的特色是作者使用的視覺輔助工具，稱為過程圖，這些圖示展示了量子力學過程的振幅是如何計算的。第二版新增了一章關於時間依賴過程的內容，並增加了有關量子計算的新材料和改進的插圖。

主要特色：

- 提供完全更新的文本，內容擴展。
- 包含全新的一章，專注於時間依賴過程，並擴展了對粒子物理最新發展的涵蓋。
- 強調使用過程圖的視覺方法，並利用新的圖形。
- 在新的附錄中納入量子資訊理論，並提供其他有用的補充資料，包括符號、晶格模型、弱味混合和數值模擬。

作者簡介

Walter Wilcox is professor of physics at Baylor University in Waco, TX, USA, and presently serves as Secretary/Treasurer in the Texas Section of the American Physical Society. He earned a PhD in elementary particle physics from UCLA in 1981 under the guidance of Dr. Julian Schwinger. He has also taught and conducted research at Oklahoma State University (1981-1983), TRIUMF Laboratory (1983-1985), and the University of Kentucky (1985-1986). He has been awarded grants from the National Science Foundation in theoretical physics, and, in collaboration with Ron Morgan, in applied mathematics. His research focuses on the development and use of numerical methods in the field of theoretical physics known as "lattice QCD." He lives in Waco, Texas, and loves to go hiking and camping.
