文档介绍：Lectures on Quantum Mechanics
Nobel Laureate Steven bines his exceptional physical insight with
his gift for clear exposition to provide a concise introduction to modern quantum
mechanics.
Ideally suited to a one-year graduate course, this textbook is also a use-
ful reference for researchers. Readers are introduced to the subject through a
review of the history of quantum mechanics and an account of classic solu-
tions of the Schrödinger equation, before quantum mechanics is developed in
a modern Hilbert space approach. The textbook covers many topics not often
found in other books on the subject, including alternatives to the Copenhagen
interpretation, Bloch waves and band structure, the Wigner–Eckart theorem,
magic numbers, isospin symmetry, the Dirac theory of constrained canonical
systems, general scattering theory, the optical theorem, the “in-in” formalism,
the Berry phase, Landau levels, entanglement, and puting. Prob-
lems are included at the ends of chapters, with solutions available for instructors
at .
STEVEN WEINBERG is a member of the Physics and Astronomy Depart-
ments at the University of Texas at Austin. His research has covered a broad
range of topics in quantum field theory, elementary particle physics, and cosmol-
ogy, and he has been honored with numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize
in Physics, the National Medal of Science, and the Heinemann Prize in Math-
ematical Physics. He is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences,
Britain’s Royal Society, and other academies in the USA and abroad. The Amer-
ican Philosophical Society awarded him the Benjamin Franklin medal, with a
citation that said he is “considered by many to be the preeminent theoretical
physicist alive in the world today.” His books for physicists include Gravitation
and Cosmology, the three-volume work The Quantum Theory of Fields,and
most recently, Cosmology. Educated at Cornell, Copenhagen, and Princeton,
he also holds honorary degrees from
