PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
IN QUANTUM MECHANICS
This collection of solved problems corresponds to the standard topics covered in
established undergraduate and graduate courses in quantum mechanics. Completely
up-to-date problems are also included on topics of current interest that are absent
from the existing literature.
Solutions are presented in considerable detail, to enable students to follow each
step. The emphasis is on stressing the principles and methods used, allowing stu-
dents to master new ways of thinking and problem-solving techniques. The prob-
lems themselves are longer than those usually encountered in textbooks and consist
of a number of questions based around a central theme, highlighting properties and
concepts of interest.
For undergraduate and graduate students, as well as those involved in teach-
ing quantum mechanics, the book can be used as a supplementary text or as an
independent self-study tool.
Kyriakos Tamvakis studied at the University of Athens and gained his .
at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA in 1978. Since then he has
held several positions at CERN’s Theory Division in Geneva, Switzerland. He has
been Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Ioannina, Greece, since
1982.
Professor Tamvakis has published 90 articles on theoretical high-energy physics
in various journals and has written two textbooks in Greek, on quantum mechan-
ics and on classical electrodynamics. This book is based on more than 20 years’
experience of teaching the subject.
