Volume II of the unrivalled textbook contains the quantum theory of scattering by a potential, addition of angular momenta, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, and systems of identical particles. The new edition also includes a new complement in order to treat an important subject that was missing in the previous editions: the linear response theory, very often used in many fields of physics such as atomic physics and quantum optics, condensed matter physics, and nucle...

Introduction to Continuous SymmetriesPowerful and practical symmetry-based approaches to quantum phenomenaIn Introduction to Continuous Symmetries, distinguished researcher Franck Laloë delivers an insightful and thought-provoking work demonstrating that the underlying equations of quantum mechanics emerge from very general symmetry considerations without the need to resort to artificial or ambiguous quantization rules. Starting at...
