Quantum Physics 2e & Cups Consortium for Upper Level Physics SW Quantum Mechanics Simulations Set

Rate this book
Quantum mechanics book with heavy emphasis on applications. Focuses on the physics of the applications, rather than on the mathematical structure. Order of magnitude estimates of effects are presented and calculated in detail. Nonclassical results are reconciled with classical expectations. In addition to core material, this edition contains new material on degenerate matter, the integral Quantum Hall Effect, the Einstein derivation of stimulated emission, lasers and the density matrix, exponential decay, and more. Features 60% more problems.

Classifying the subjects in a biased way which makes it difficult to understand the main subjects

Not very good, I had to refer to Griffiths often, which is a superior book.

A 1 eV electron got trapped inside the surface of a metal. If the potential barrier is 4 eV and the width of the barrier is 2 𝐴𝐴0, find the probability of transmission.

A concise, practical, well written and self-sufficient book of quantum mechanics, ideal for a BSc in Physics level.
