商品描述

This textbook forms the basis for an advanced undergraduate or graduate level quantum chemistry course, and can also serve as a reference for researchers in physical chemistry and chemical physics. In addition to the standard core topics such as principles of quantum mechanics, vibrational and rotational states, hydrogen-like molecules, perturbation theory, variational principles, and molecular orbital theories, this book also covers essential theories of electronic structure calculation, the primary methods for calculating quantum dynamics, and major spectroscopic techniques for quantum measurement. Plus, topics that are overlooked in conventional textbooks such as path integral formulation, open system quantum dynamics methods, and Green's function approaches are addressed. This book helps readers grasp the essential quantum mechanical principles and results that serve as the foundation of modern chemistry and become knowledgeable in major methods of computational chemistry and spectroscopic experiments being conducted by present-day researchers. Dirac notation is used throughout, and right balance between comprehensiveness, rigor, and readability is achieved, ensuring that the book remains accessible while providing all the relevant details. Complete with exercises, this book is ideal for a course on quantum chemistry or as a self-study resource.


作者簡介

Seogjoo J. Jang is a Professor of Chemistry at Queens College of the City University of New York (CUNY), and is a doctoral faculty member of both the Chemistry and Physics PhD programs at the Graduate Center of CUNY. He obtained his BS (1989) and MS (1993) degrees in Chemistry from Seoul National University, and a Ph.D. degree (1999) in Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. He then worked as a postdoctoral associate at MIT (1999-2002) and as a Goldhaber Distinguished Fellow (2003-2005) at Brookhaven National Laboratory before starting his faculty position at Queens College, CUNY in 2005. His research expertise is in quantum dynamics theories and computational modeling. In particular, he has pioneered modern theories of resonance energy transfer that are now being incorporated into theoretical analyses of experimental data on complex molecular systems and has made key contributions to understanding the role of delocalized excitons in photosynthetic light harvesting complexes. He is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2009) and the Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award (2010).

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Seogjoo J. Jang 是紐約市立大學(CUNY)皇后學院的化學教授,同時也是CUNY研究生中心化學與物理博士課程的博士生指導教授。他於1989年獲得首爾國立大學的化學學士學位,1993年獲得碩士學位,並於1999年在賓夕法尼亞大學獲得化學博士學位。隨後,他在麻省理工學院(MIT)擔任博士後研究員(1999-2002),並在布魯克海文國家實驗室擔任Goldhaber傑出研究員(2003-2005),之後於2005年開始在CUNY皇后學院任教。他的研究專長為量子動力學理論和計算建模。特別是,他在共振能量轉移的現代理論方面開創了先河,這些理論目前正被納入對複雜分子系統實驗數據的理論分析中,並對理解去局域化激子在光合作用光捕獲複合體中的角色做出了重要貢獻。他是國家科學基金會CAREER獎(2009年)和Camille Dreyfus教師學者獎(2010年)的獲得者。
