Beschreibung

The aim of this book is to explain the basic concepts and phenomena of quantum mechanics by means of visualisation. Computer-generated illustrations in color are used extensively throughout the text, helping to establish the relation between quantum mechanics¿wave functions, interference, atomic structure, and so forth¿and classical physics¿point mechanics, statistical mechanics, and wave optics. Even more important, by studying the pictures in parallel with the text, readers develop an intuition for such notoriously abstract phenomena as:
the tunnel effect

excitation and decay of metastable states

wave-packet motion within a well

systems of distinguishable and indistinguishable particles

free wave packets and scattering in 3 dimensions

angular-momentum decomposition

stationary bound states in various 3-dimensional potentials

hybrid states

Kepler motion of wave packets in the Coulomb field

spin and magnetic resonance

Illustrations from experiments in a variety of fields, including chemistry, and molecular, atomic, nuclear, and particle physics, underline the basic as well as the practical importance of quantum mechanics. In the present, fourth edition all computer graphics are presented in full colour. It also contains additional physics topics such as hybridisation.
