Discover big ideas about small things

For Dummies guides can help you learn anything--even quantum physics. This book covers the same theories and principles that a textbook would, making them simpler to understand and apply. Learn the history of the quantum revolution and practice solving basic quantum equations involving state vectors, angular momentum, group dynamics, and beyond. You also get a glimpse at how quantum discoveries change how we understand our universe. With this resource, you can get through your quantum physics course and pass your exam, the easy way.

Inside...

Review classical physics Discover quantum physics theories and interpretations Find methods for taming the Schrödinger equation Distinguish between spin and angular momentum Solve problems with rectangular and spherical coordinates Examine the hydrogen atom
