This new edition presents the basic concepts in quantum mechanics with emphasis on applications in areas like nuclear physics, astrophysics, solid-state physics, and quantum optics. Each chapter is substantiated with a number of numerical problems with the solutions to most of these problems given at the end of the chapter. Apart from a new prologue, the additions are new topics such as wave-particle duality and uncertainty principle, Schrödinger equation, and much more.--Publisher's Web site.
