Taylor and Francis Mathur, V: Concepts in Quantum Mechanics

Taking a classically disciplined approach, this graduate-level text emphasizes the development of a logical and consistent overview of quantum mechanics. It discusses quantization of the KG and Dirac wave fields, illustrates several applications, and examines both spontaneous and induced radiation emissions. The authors discuss Bethe's treatment of shifts in atomic levels due to electron self-interaction and the influence of the Compton effect. They also develop covariant perturbation theory with a focus on second-order processes, such as Moller and Bhabha scattering. Concepts are supported with a wealth of problems and worked solutions.
