Among the many concepts comprehensively discussed are: operators; state vectors and wave functions; experimental observables; classical\/quantal connections; and symmetry properties. The theory is applied to a wide variety of systems including the non-relativistic H-atom, external electromagnetic fields, and spin. Collisions are described using wave packets. Various time-dependent and time-independent approximations are discussed; applications include electromagnetic transition rates and corrections to the H-atom energies. The final chapter deals with identical-particle symmetries and their application to the He atom, the Periodic Table and diatomic molecules.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614301601943,"sku":"9780521591614","price":24333.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521591614.webp?v=1775092526","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-quantum-theory-9780521591614","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
