Quantum Mechanics in Matrix Form

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the matrix method in quantum mechanics, the book provides a thorough exploration of Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, deriving fundamental equations through algebraic methods. It contrasts this with a brief overview of Schrödinger's wave mechanics to demonstrate their equivalence. Historical insights into quantum theory's development by figures like Planck and Bohr are included, alongside discussions of Pauli's spin and exclusion principles, which explain atomic structure. The text also touches on Dirac's relativistic quantum mechanics and highlights the practical application of matrices in modern computational software.
