Last edition Elsevier This innovative new text approaches Quantum Mechanics in a manner more closely aligned with the methods used in real modern physics research. Most texts start with a bit of history and then move directly to wave-particle problems with the incumbent heavy mathematical analysis; McIntyre, Manogue, and Tate aim to ground the student’s knowledge in experimental phenomena and use a more approachable, less intimidating, more powerful mathematical matrix model.

- • A more moderate transition to the essential mathematics is characterised by the authors’ new approach, which focuses on modern research (quantum computing, etc), along with coverage of bra-ket notation and matrix mechanics. Students who are able to take advantage of the strengths of matrices and bra-ket will likely find the complex mathematics less daunting than in a standard quantum text.
- • The focus on modern experimental quantum mechanics makes the material more engaging, and allows the student to stay connected with current research trends.
- • A wide range of online activities are used to integrate and expand upon the features in the physical text. The activities on the website are organised both by topic, as well as by learning objective, allowing instructors to develop their course around topical knowledge or work on a specific learning objective.
- • Online activities are organised in a wiki environment so that users can share their reflections on their use/adaptation of any one activity. Some activities take advantage of various pieces of software, such as SPINS, which is a cross-platform java program used to simulate Stern-Gerlach experiments. The online activities section, in the author’s words, is a “living, growing thing,” and the number of activities will grow as the website expands.
- David H. McIntyre received a B.S. degree in physics from the University of Arizona and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Stanford University. He has been on the physics faculty at Oregon State University since 1989 and is one of the original developers of the Paradigms in Physics program. His other teaching interests include computational physics, computer interfacing, and optical physics. His laboratory research interests are in laser spectroscopy and optical physics.
