Introduction to Quantum Mechanics Schrödinger Equation and Path Integral
Müller-Kirsten, Harald J W
Introduction to Quantum Mechanics Schrödinger Equation and Path Integral Harald J W Müller-Kirsten - 2nd ed - New Jersey World Scientific 2012 - 944p.
This text on quantum mechanics begins by covering all the main topics of an introduction to the subject. It then concentrates on newer developments. In particular it continues with the perturbative solution of the Schrödinger equation for various potentials and thereafter with the introduction and evaluation of their path integral counterparts. Considerations of the large order behavior of the perturbation expansions show that in most applications these are asymptotic expansions. The parallel consideration of path integrals requires the evaluation of these around periodic classical configurations, the fluctuation equations about which lead back to specific wave equations. The period of the classical configurations is related to temperature, and permits transitions to the thermal domain to be classified as phase transitions.
