Modern Quantum Mechanics

Autor J. J. Sakurai, Jim Napolitano
en Limba Engleză Hardback – oct 2020

Considerăm că a treia ediție a lucrării Modern Quantum Mechanics reprezintă un instrument indispensabil pentru studenții de la nivel masteral sau doctoral care doresc să facă tranziția de la mecanica cuantică standard către teoria cuantică a câmpurilor. Aplicabilitatea practică a acestui volum rezidă în modul în care Jim Napolitano a reușit să extindă materialul original al lui J. J. Sakurai, păstrând rigoarea matematică necesară cercetării contemporane. Spre deosebire de abordările istorice care încep cu radiația corpului negru, acest curs adoptă o perspectivă modernă, bazată pe formalismul stărilor și operatorilor, pregătind terenul pentru fizica particulelor elementare. Suntem de părere că structura logică a celor opt capitole oferă o progresie coerentă: se pornește de la conceptele fundamentale și dinamică, trecând prin teoria momentului cinetic și metode de aproximare, până la adăugarea crucială a capitolului despre mecanica cuantică relativistă. Această ediție acoperă aceeași arie ca Lectures on Quantum Mechanics de Steven Weinberg, dar cu o abordare mai orientată către nevoile studentului de fizică teoretică, oferind un echilibru între eleganța formalismului Dirac și experimente concrete, precum cele de interferometrie sau corelații de tip Bell. În contextul operei autorului, dacă Currents and Mesons se concentra pe o nișă specifică a fizicii energiilor înalte, acest volum sintetizează întreaga viziune a lui J. J. Sakurai asupra fundamentelor cuantice. Stilul este acum mai consistent între capitole, iar revizuirile recente asigură că tratamentul matematic este optimizat pentru curriculumul universitar actual. De la integralele de parcurs Feynman la simetriile în mecanica cuantică, textul rămâne un reper de claritate și precizie pentru comunitatea științifică.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această ediție revizuită studenților absolvenți și cercetătorilor care caută un fundament teoretic solid, lipsit de digresiuni istorice. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a formalismului cuantic modern, fiind pregătit direct pentru studiul avansat al câmpurilor. Este manualul de referință care face legătura între mecanica cuantică non-relativistă și fizica particulelor, oferind rigoarea matematică cerută de standardele Cambridge University Press.


Descriere scurtă

Modern Quantum Mechanics is a classic graduate level textbook, covering the main concepts from quantum mechanics in a clear, organized and engaging manner. The original author, J. J. Sakurai, was a renowned particle theorist. This third edition, revised by Jim Napolitano, introduces topics that extend its value into the twenty-first century, such as modern mathematical techniques for advanced quantum mechanical calculations, while at the same time retaining fundamental topics such as neutron interferometer experiments, Feynman path integrals, correlation measurements, and Bell's inequalities. A solutions manual is available.

Recenzii

'A truly wonderful introduction to quantum mechanics. Sakurai's original text was elegant, simple, and full of insight. It taught me much as a graduate student. Napolitano's update adds context with applications from today's research, explained simply and beautifully. The problems are exceptionally well chosen. This book can be used for graduate quantum courses from one quarter to a year in length, in physics, materials science, or even physical chemistry.' Kieron Burke, University of California-Irvine
'I have enjoyed teaching graduate quantum mechanics from J. J. Sakurai's book since its first publication in 1985, specially the first four chapters Sakurai completed before his untimely departure. As co-author, Jim Napolitano has reorganized and expanded the book, incorporating new topics of current interest, while keeping Sakurai's pedagogical vision. The product is quite appealing, impressive, and befits a 21st-century perspective.' Michael El-Batanouny, Boston University
'Years ago, upon reading J. J. Sakurai's Modern Quantum Mechanics, I was immediately inspired to write my own textbook – one that takes a similar approach to Sakurai's graduate-level book, but for undergraduates. I am delighted that Jim Napolitano has successfully taken on the challenge of bringing Sakurai's textbook up to date, in keeping with the book's title.' John S. Townsend, Harvey Mudd College
'This textbook does an excellent job of bridging the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and topics at the frontier of modern physics. It is comprehensive, authoritative, and rich in pedagogical innovations. New materials included in the current version make this textbook especially suitable for students who wish to engage in cutting-edge experimental and theoretical research.' Jinjun Liu, University of Louisville
'Napolitano has modernized Sakurai's classic textbook with more applications, such as, K-G field and spontaneous emission. These expansions highlight the important advance in modern physics, while two main features of this classical book are well kept, including a logical and accessible approach to the field, and a concise and consistent Dirac notation throughout the book.' Xiaoyan Shi, University of Texas, Dallas
'The strength of this fine text is its unified point of view: quantum mechanics is about operations on state vectors, described using the bra and ket notation. This approach is rather abstract, but once a student grasps the central ideas, it is simple and powerful.' Davison Soper, University of Oregon
'Sakurai's text provides an understanding of quantum mechanics firmly founded on Dirac formalism and linear algebra. It has deservedly become a classic introductory graduate text, one that helps the student start to think as a practitioner. In the new editions, Napolitano has pedagogically filled in gaps in the exposition and topical coverage, while maintaining the crisp and insightful presentation of the original.' Mark Caprio, University of Notre Dame
'Theoretical particle physics students may find this book well oriented to their needs … this book can be well recommended as an intermediate text … It is a worthy memorial to a much-appreciated scientist.' Peter J. Bussey, Contemporary Physics
