Description: The aim of this book is to explain the basic concepts and phenomena of quantum mechanics by means of visualization. Computer-generated illustrations are used extensively throughout the text, helping to establish the relation between quantum mechanics --- wave functions, interference, atomic structure, and so forth --- and classical physics --- point mechanics, statistical mechanics, and wave optics. Even more important, by studying the pictures in parallel with the text, readers develop an intuition for such notoriously abstract phenomena as - the tunnel effect - excitation and decay of metastable states - wave packet motion within a well - systems of distinguishable and indistinguishable particles - free wave packets and scattering in 3 dimensions - angular momentum decomposition - stationary bound states in various 3-dimensional potentials - Kepler motion of wave packets in the Coulomb field - Spin and magnetic resonance

Illustrations from experiments in a variety of fields, including chemistry, and molecular, atomic, nuclear, and particle physics, underline the basic as well as the practical importance of quantum mechanics. Illustrations from experiments in a variety of fields, including chemistry, and molecular, atomic, nuclear, and particle physics, underline the basic as well as the practical importance of quantum mechanics.

This third edition includes a CD-ROM with all illustrations from the book in full color, suitable direct display or for printing out as posters or teaching aids. It also includes a new chapter on quantile motion and tunneling time, as well as some additional phenomena and examples.
