While numerous texts on QM exist, the present book brings a fresh perspective given by a practicing atomic physics theorist with a wide range of research interests. The book is built from the historical background of QM up to the most recent applications including quantum information and computation. In this historical journey, the key milestones of QM are marked including the hydrogen atom, Feynman path integrals, light-matter interaction and scattering of atomic particles. A loving attention to detail and meticulous derivations make this book a pleasant and useful reading which will benefit both the students and practicing researchers.'

This book attempts to make fundamental principles intuitively appealing. It will assist readers in learning difficult methods. Exposition of fundamental principles includes a discussion on position-momentum and energy-time uncertainty, angular momentum algebra, parity, bound and unbound eigenstates of an atom, approximation methods, time-reversal symmetry in collisions, and on a measurable time delay in scattering. It also provides an early introduction to Feynman path integrals and to geometric phase. A novel Lambert-W method to solve quantum mechanical problems is also introduced. It seeks to enable readers gain confidence in applying methods of non-relativistic and relativistic quantum theory rigorously to problems on atomic structure and dynamics, spectroscopy and quantum collisions, and problems on introductory quantum information processing and computing.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e Foreword by Eva Lindroth\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1.
