Quantum Mechanics Using Computer Algebra Includes Sample Programs In C Symbolicc Maxima Maple And Mathematica 2nd Edition

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Solving problems in quantum mechanics is an essential skill and research activity for physicists, mathematicians, engineers and others. Nowadays, the labor of scientific computation has been greatly eased by the advent of computer algebra packages, which do not merely perform number crunching, but also enable users to manipulate algebraic expressions and equations symbolically. For example, the manipulations of noncommutative operators, differentiation and integration can now be carried out algebraically by the computer algebra package.This book collects standard and advanced methods in quantum mechanics and implements them using SymbolicC++ and Maxima, two popular computer algebra packages. Throughout, the sample programs and their outputs are accompanied with explanatory text of the underlying mathematics and physics explained in detail. Selected problems have also been implemented using two other popular packages — Mathematica and Maple — while some problems are implemented in C++.Modern developments in quantum theory are covered extensively, beyond the standard quantum mechanical techniques. The new research topics added to this second edition are: entanglement, teleportation, Berry phase, Morse oscillator, Magnus expansion, wavelets, Pauli and Clifford groups, coupled Bose-Fermi systems, super-Lie algebras, etc.

BOOK EXCERPT:

Solving problems in quantum mechanics is an essential skill and research activity for scientists, engineers and others. Nowadays the labor of scientific computation has been greatly eased by the advent of computer algebra packages. These do not merely perform number-crunching tasks, but enable users to manipulate algebraic expressions and equations symbolically. For example, differentiation and integration can now be carried out algebraically by the computer.This book collects standard and advanced methods in quantum mechanics and implements them using REDUCE, a popular computer algebra package. Throughout, sample programs and their output have been displayed alongside explanatory text, making the book easy to follow. Selected problems have also been implemented using two other popular packages, MATHEMATICA and MAPLE, and in the object-oriented programming language C++.Besides standard quantum mechanical techniques, modern developments in quantum theory are also covered. These include Fermi and Bose Operators, coherent states, gauge theory and quantum groups. All the special functions relevant to quantum mechanics (Hermite, Chebyshev, Legendre and more) are implemented.The level of presentation is such that one can get a sound grasp of computational techniques early on in one's scientific education. A careful balance is struck between practical computation and the underlying mathematical concepts, making the book well-suited for use with quantum mechanics courses.

Quantum Mechanics Using Maple

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Quantum Mechanics Using Maple permits the study of quantum mechanics in a novel, interactive way using the computer algebra and graphics system Maple V. Usually the physics student is distracted from understanding the concepts of modern physics by the need to master unfamiliar mathematics at the same time. In 39 guided Maple sessions the reader explores many standard quantum mechanics problems, as well as some advanced topics that introduce approximation techniques. A solid knowledge of Maple V is acquired as it applies to advanced mathematics relevant for engineering, physics, and applied mathematics. The diskette contains 39 Maple V for Windows worksheet files to reproduce all the problems presented in the text. The suggested exercises can be performed with a minimum of typing.

Introduction To The Mathematical Structure Of Quantum Mechanics An A Short Course For Mathematicians 2nd Edition

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

The second printing contains a critical discussion of Dirac derivation of canonical quantization, which is instead deduced from general geometric structures. This book arises out of the need for Quantum Mechanics (QM) to be part of the common education of mathematics students. The mathematical structure of QM is formulated in terms of the C*-algebra of observables, which is argued on the basis of the operational definition of measurements and the duality between states and observables, for a general physical system.The Dirac-von Neumann axioms are then derived. The description of states and observables as Hilbert space vectors and operators follows from the GNS and Gelfand-Naimark Theorems. The experimental existence of complementary observables for atomic systems is shown to imply the noncommutativity of the observable algebra, the distinctive feature of QM; for finite degrees of freedom, the Weyl algebra codifies the experimental complementarity of position and momentum (Heisenberg commutation relations) and Schrödinger QM follows from the von Neumann uniqueness theorem.The existence problem of the dynamics is related to the self-adjointness of the Hamiltonian and solved by the Kato-Rellich conditions on the potential, which also guarantee quantum stability for classically unbounded-below Hamiltonians. Examples are discussed which include the explanation of the discreteness of the atomic spectra.Because of the increasing interest in the relation between QM and stochastic processes, a final chapter is devoted to the functional integral approach (Feynman-Kac formula), to the formulation in terms of ground state correlations (the quantum mechanical analog of the Wightman functions) and their analytic continuation to imaginary time (Euclidean QM). The quantum particle on a circle is discussed in detail, as an example of the interplay between topology and functional integral, leading to the emergence of superselection rules and θ sectors.
