Rezensionen

I'll have it next to me while writing my next quantum exam. I will also consult it when looking for applications to help student's comprehension. ...I recommend this book for the library of any institution teaching quantum mechanics. Craig Savage, The Physicist, 2000, 37,5 To conclude, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone whose knowledge of technical details enables him to read it. I consider this book, aside from its educational value, as a most successful attempt in exposing the beauty of physics in simple yet rigorous terms. Dr B. FARID (University of Cambridge) Contemporary Physics, 2001,42,2 The Quantum Mechanics Solver by J.-L. Basdevant and T. Dalibard is an excellent collection of quantum mechanics problems with complete

solutions. When I first came across this book, the classic collection by S. Flügge inevitably came to my mind. WiIl this again be a book with endless calculations of exactly solvable examples, cast into the form of exercises? After a short while I came to the conclusion that the Quantum Mechanics Solver is entirely different, mainly because - from the very beginning - it encourages qualitative reasoning as a tool that has to accompany all calculations. In that way it comes closer to real-life situations than any other problem collection I am aware of. (...) I think that the book can really be a valuable addition for physics stcdents on an advanced level. Trying these exercises is really "learning by doing" and will bring the student to a level that he cannot reach just by reading books and hearing lectures. Apart from this, I found that playing around with the exercises is a very stimulating experience even for somebody who has worked in the field of quantum mechanics for several years. It is really fun to try the exercises, to peek at the solutions, or just to browse through the different sections in order to stumble across your personal favorites. Therefore I recommend this book to everyone - student or scientist.
