Table of ContentsPreface; The mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics; The harmonic oscillator; Other one-dimensional systems; Angular momentum; Spherically symmetric potentials; Applications; Factorization with application to the momentum representation; The isotropic harmonic oscillator in an angular momentum basis; The Coulomb problem in an angular momentum basis; The Coulomb problem in the basis /HA OzL Tz; Relativistic quantum mechanics; Relativistic spherically symmetric problems; References; Appendices.Reviews'van Fraassen's exploration of the interpretation of the models used by quantum mechanics is just as relevant to realists (if not more so) ... Few technicalities are left unexplained; all the needed group theory, measure theory, and so on, is introduced along the way with van Fraassen's characteristic clarity ... I must confess to finding Quantum Mechanics the best I have read yet. I can see myself wandering through its pages again and again.' Times Higher Education Supplement 'this book will certainly become a valuable and informative reference on the use of operator methods in one-body (and two-body) quantum mechanics ... It will also provide a useful source of supplementary reading for students whose main exposure to quantum mechanics has been via the most elementary and naive approach due to Schrodinger.' Professor R.F. Bishop, UMIST, Contemporary Physics, Volume 33, Number 3, 1992 'van Fraasen introduces each topic with care and attention to detail ... Quantum Mechanics is a thought-provoking and largely well-written monograph expressing the author's philosophical view of quantum mechanics. The work is complemented by an extensive bibliography containing important contributions by numerous authors.' Dr S.M. Barnett, University of Strathclyde, Contemporary Physics, Volume 34, Number 2, March/April 1993 'van Fraasen introduces each topic with care and attention to detail ...
