Summary:

The book presents a lucid analysis of quantum mechanics, with a strong emphasis on comprehending the fundamentals. Based on Dirac's bra(c)ket notation, the essential mathematical formalism is developed and found to be useful in explaining the latest topics of interest, like Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Stimulated Emission and Absorption of Radiations, Ammonia Maser, Quantum Computing, etc. This book is laden with a rich collection of fully solved examples for focusing on understanding the concepts. One of the chapters presents a thorough formalism of angular momentum algebra. This formalism is tested specifically to determine the spin-orbit coupling interaction, which in turn plays an important role in establishing the atomic as well as nuclear shell structure. The author discusses the conventional formalism known as the second quantization technique of many particle systems, which is the backbone of both condensed matter theory and quantum field theory.With its updated and comprehensive coverage, this book meets the requirements of both graduate and research students in the field of physics.
