Group Theory in Quantum Mechanics (Dover Books on Physics and Chemistry)
Group Theory in Quantum Mechanics - Dover Books on Physics and Chemistry Author:Volker Heine Introduces research students in physics and chemistry to the three main uses of group theory in quantum mechanics: (1) to label energy levels and the corresponding eigenstates, (2) to discuss qualitatively the splitting of energy levels starting from an approximate Hamiltonian and adding correction terms, and (3) to aid in the evaluation of matr... more »ix elements of all kinds. The book requires a previous course in quantum theory, but the matrix algebra is included as an appendix. A series of examples of varying levels of difficulty follows each chapter. 1960 edition.« less
