About the Book

This third volume on quantum mechanics in the Greiner series brings additional chapters on quantum theory that will be most useful to graduate students who are already acquainted with "Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction" and "Quantum Mechanics: Symmetries". Numerous problems and worked examples guide the reader throughout the text.
