Quantum Mechanics: Fourth Edition
Editorial Reviews
Review
Rae's book has struck almost exactly the right note in attractiveness of language without loss of rigor, and is informal in style and related in tone…
- The Times Higher Education Supplement
…fully hits its target as a highly stimulating introduction. This book certainly deserves its place in all university libraries and laboratories.
- Semiconductor Science and Technology
It has been widely recommended as a course text for the last 12 years and this new edition brings the subjects covered right up-to-date…It is recommended for second and third year undergraduates of physics, chemistry, and mathematics undergraduates.
- Zentralblatt
The addition of this new material has added a further dimension to what was already an excellent undergraduate text. The material is very well written, logically presented, and illustrated with relevant contemporary examples wherever appropriate…In summary, this is a first-rate and relatively inexpensive book that would be an extremely useful text for anyone studying or teaching quantum physics at the tertiary level. It would also be a valuable reference for postgraduate students needing a reasonably solid understanding of quantum mechanics for their research in other fields.
- P.V. Smith, The Physicist
I find this to be an excellent, clear, and scholarly text and would recommend it highly. I am particularly encouraged by the effort that Rae spends on attempting to explain the large fields of non-locality/Bohm theory…I am impressed by the clarity of the text.
- Professor Christopher Chantler
Alastair Rae's book Quantum Mechanics is established as a classic undergraduate text in this field and this is now its fourth edition. The structure of the book remains intact and the subject is logically and methodically developed. One of the major strengths of Rae's work is the lucidly written text and explanation of the steps…This remains an excellent course book in quantum mechanics and I would strongly recommend it as an undergraduate text for quantum physics.

Book Description
This is the fourth edition of a successful textbook covering quantum mechanics for second-year physics undergraduates with a knowledge of elementary atomic physics. Maintaining the exceptional level of clarity that made previous editions so popular, this edition incorporates a more gradual introduction to the basic postulates, new chapters on relativistic quantum theory and quantum information, Dirac notation, and up to date examples, including scanning tunneling microscopy and the direct observation of the Bose-Einstein condensate. The book is supported by a web page containing an up-to-date bibliography, color versions of some of the illustrations and links to other relevant sites.
