Beschreibung
Advanced Quantum Mechanics, the second volume on quantum mechanics by Franz Schwabl, discusses nonrelativistic multi-particle systems, relativistic wave equations and relativistic fields. Characteristic of Schwabl's work, this volume features a compelling mathematical presentation in which all intermediate steps are derived and where numerous examples for application and exercises help the reader to gain a thorough working knowledge of the subject. The treatment of relativistic wave equations and their symmetries and the fundamentals of quantum field theory lay the foundations for advanced studies in solid-state physics, nuclear and elementary particle physics. This text extends and complements Schwabl's introductory Quantum Mechanics, which covers nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and offers a short treatment of the quantization of the radiation field. New material has been added to this second edition of Advanced Quantum Mechanics on momentum representation, Bose gases, the Lorentz transformation and covariance with the Dirac equation, and the 'hole theory' in chapter "Physical Interpretation of the Solutions to the Dirac Equation."

Über den Autor
Dietmar Petrascheck studied physics at the University of Vienna where he also received his doctorate. In 1987 he completed his habilitation at the University of Linz and has been an associate professor since 1997.

Franz Schwabl (deceased) was full professor of theoretical physics at the Technical University of Munich and retired in 2003. He conducted research in the field of magnetic materials and investigated structure formation in driven, dissipative nonequilibrium systems. He is the author of the very well-known textbooks on Quantum Mechanics and Statistical Mechanics.
