Quantum mechanics : special chapters /
Quantum Mechanics Special Chapters is an important additional course for third-year students. This book is not intended to provide an exhaustive introduction to all aspects of quantum mechanics. Our main goal has been to present an elementary introduction to the methods of field quantization and the...
