Zusammenfassung:Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, Second Edition presents an accessible, fully-updated introduction on the principles of quantum mechanics. The book outlines the fundamental concepts of quantum theory, discusses how these arose from classic experiments in chemistry and physics, and presents the quantum-mechanical foundations of many key scientific techniques. Chapters cover an introduction to the key principles underpinning quantum mechanics, differing types of molecular structures, bonds and behaviors, and applications of quantum mechanical theory across a number of important fields, including new chapters on Density Functional Theory, Statistical Thermodynamics and Quantum Computing.Drawing on the extensive experience of its expert author, this book is a reliable introduction to the principles of quantum mechanics for anyone new to the field, and a useful refresher on fundamental knowledge and latest developments for anyone more experienced in the field. - Presents a fully updated accounting that reflects the most recent developments in Quantum Theory and its applications- Includes new chapters on Special Functions, Density Functional Theory, Statistical Thermodynamics and Quantum Computers- Presents additional problems and exercises to further support learning
