About The Book:
Quantum Mechanics by P. C. Deshmukh is a comprehensive guide designed for graduate students and researchers in atomic, molecular, and optical sciences, as well as condensed matter and nuclear physics. The book emphasizes intuitive understanding, making complex principles more accessible while equipping readers with the methodologies needed to tackle challenging quantum applications.

The text covers a range of topics including position-momentum and energy-time uncertainty, angular momentum algebra, parity, eigenstates of atoms, and approximation methods. Additionally, it explores time-reversal symmetry in collisions, measurable time delays in scattering, and provides an early introduction to Feynman path integrals and geometric phase. A novel Lambert-W method is also introduced to solve quantum mechanical problems, enhancing the book's practicality.

By presenting a rigorous approach to both non-relativistic and relativistic quantum theory, this book empowers readers to apply these methods confidently in fields such as atomic structure and dynamics, spectroscopy, quantum collisions, and quantum information processing and computing.
