About The Book
"Principles of Quantum Mechanics for Chemists" by Donald D. Fitts provides a rigorous mathematical account of quantum mechanics, especially as applied to chemistry and chemical physics. Aimed at graduate students, the book introduces the core principles of quantum mechanics, with a focus on their applications in the field of chemical physics.
The first chapters lay the groundwork with an introduction to quantum theory, wave motion, and Schrödinger's wave mechanics. The postulates of quantum mechanics are explored in-depth, with applications to topics such as the harmonic oscillator, angular momentum, and the hydrogen atom. Modern theoretical concepts like Hilbert space, Dirac notation, and ladder operators are discussed and integrated throughout the text.
This book stands out for its detailed presentation of wave packets and its rigorous approach to solving standard quantum mechanics problems. It is ideal for graduate students in chemistry, chemical physics, molecular physics, and materials science who seek a comprehensive and rigorous understanding of quantum mechanics.
