Written specifically for electronic and mechanical engineers and students, this book takes quantum mechanics out of the theory books and into the real world, using practical engineering examples throughout. Levi's unique approach engages the reader and keeps them motivated with numerous illustrations, exercises and worked solutions. Includes MATLAB examples on CD-ROM.
This book takes quantum mechanics out of the theory books and into the real world, using practical engineering examples throughout. Levi's unique, practical approach engages readers and keeps them motivated with numerous illustrations, exercises and worked solutions. Starting with some scene setting revision material on classical mechanics and electromagnetics, Levi takes the reader from first principles and Schroedinger's equation on to more advanced topics including scattering, eigenstates, the harmonic oscillator and time-dependent perturbation theory. A CD-ROM is included which contains MATLAB source code to support the text. Quantum mechanics is usually thought of as being a difficult subject to master - this book sets out to prove it doesn't need to be.

Professor Levi joined the USC faculty in mid-1993 after working for 10 years at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey.
