Abstract

This is an advanced quantum mechanics textbook for physicists covering the general areas of atomic structure, semi-classical radiation theory, atomic collisions and relativistic quantum theory. The problems are very challenging. Topics include: miscellaneous results from elementary quantum mechanics; identical particles and symmetry; two-electron atoms; the self-consistent field; statistical models; addition of angular momenta; theory of multiplets; electrostatic interaction; spin-orbit interaction and interactions with external fields; molecules; semi-classical theory of radiation; intensity of radiation; selection rules; photo-electric effect; elastic scattering at high energies; elastic scattering at low energies; further corrections to elastic scattering formulae; elastic scattering of spin 1/2 particles; inelastic scattering at high energies; inelastic scattering at low energies; semi-classical treatment of inelastic scattering; classical limit of quantum mechanical scattering --- summary; Klein-Gordon equation; Dirac equation; formal theory; solutions of the Dirac equation.
