Quantum Mechanics A Modern and Concise Introductory Course
By systematically covering both the Heisenberg and Schrödinger realizations, the book emphasizes the essential principles of quantum mechanics, which remain hidden within the usual derivations of the wave equation. Moreover, this presentation not only to

A primeval representation of thc the hydrogen atom This beautiful mandala is displayed at thc the temple court of Paro Dzong, the monumental fortress of Western Bhutan [1]. It may be a primeval representation of the hydrogen atom: the outer red circle conveys a meaning of strength, electron binding energy. The inner and spherica1 spherical which may correspond to the e1ectron nucleus is surrounded by large, osculating circles that represent the motion of the electron: the circles do not on1y only occupy a finite region of space (as in Fig. 6.4), but are also associated with trajectories of different energies cnergies (co1ours) (colours) and/or with radiation transitions of different colours (wavclengths). (wavelengths). At thc the center, within the nucleus, there are three quarks.
