Features: This textbook was written by Professor Guan Hong of the Physics Department at Sun Yat-sen University, based on his many years of dedicated research on the quantum mechanics course. It is designed for undergraduate physics majors in Chinese universities who are taking quantum mechanics for the first time. The book is divided into 12 chapters: Introduction, State Functions and Their Evolution Equations, One-Dimensional Stationary Problems, Basic Principles of Quantum Mechanics, Continuation of Basic Principles of Quantum Mechanics, Central Force Problems, Matrix Formulation of Quantum Mechanics, Approximation Methods for Stationary Problems, Evolution and Transitions, Electron Spin and Spin-Orbit Coupling, Identical Particle Systems, and Scattering Theory. During the writing process, the author adhered to the principle of selecting material that is concise yet comprehensive, striving to present the entire quantum mechanics curriculum through a simple, clear, and self-consistent conceptual framework. The goal is to elucidate the fundamental principles, computational methods, and typical applications of quantum mechanics. Additionally, representative topics have been carefully selected and skillfully integrated throughout the book, forming a distinctive foundational textbook on quantum mechanics.
