Advanced quantum mechanics

This book already excellent for this area,about for this copy, page is qulity and clear reading.

I was borrowing a 4th printing, and the only difference I noticed was an increase in page count by a few. Printing clarity is excellent and content looked complete upon checking a few dozen pages. This is in regard to ISBN 978-81-775-8916-0. It is a PearsonIN product.

Pulled an old copy of this out from the TARDIS archives Saturday 23rd November 2013. Easy read to calm the nerves, but only managed to read the first half as had a family reunion and worlds to save, old and new. A good starter book on your journey to understanding Huon particles & Vortex Z-Neutrino energy. Please avoid the use of any tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator when you start putting your knowledge into practical use though.

No problems whatsoever, identical content as international version. But if you care about 'real' international one, reconsider buying it.

This book represents to a large degree an approach to quantum field theory that is now viewed as somewhat out of date. Modern textbooks and monographs in quantum field theory emphasize functional methods, the renormalization group, the operator product expansion, and topological field configurations. In addition, this book was published before the advent of the electroweak theory, and so readers will not get an introduction to this theory, nor to quantum chromodynamics, the gauge theory of the strong interactions. The only gauge theory actually treated in the book is quantum electrodynamics, although the author does not exploit the gauge invariance of this theory to its fullest potential in the book.For those readers who want learn quantum field theory, this book would probably not suffice, due to the above omissions. However, the book might still be used as a reference, and one that, as stated by the author, emphasizes the physics of quantum field theory. Covariant perturbation theory and Feynmam diagrams are given ample treatment. In addition, the author does not hesitate to employ symmetry considerations in the discussion of the transformation properties of the Dirac wave function and the quantized Dirac field. The spin-statistics theorem is not proven, but some plausible arguments as to its validity are given, dealing with the difficulty in constructing a quantum field theory for the electron that does not obey the Pauli exclusion principle. And, as another example of the avoidance of complicated mathematics, the author chooses to discuss the Moller interaction between two electrons using the (noncovariant) Coulomb gauge. In this strategy, the transverse part of the vector potential is treated dynamically, and the electron interaction consists of the interaction of the transverse electromagnetic field with the Dirac current and the instantaneous Coulomb interaction between charge densities. Only the transverse part of the vector potential is quantized, but interestingly, the nonphysical, longitudinal parts cancell out in the calculation of the amplitude. This approach may be distasteful from a modern gauge-invariant point of view, but it does suffice to bring out the physics of the problem, and it does serve to motivate the modern approach to the calculation of the Moller cross-section.Thus, this might still serve to build insight into the physics of quantum field theory. Too often modern texts emphasize the mathematical formalism, the latter becoming more and more formidable as the years go on. The chapter on covariant perturbation theory is definitely worth some amount of time because of this. The reader can then move on to the magnificent fortresses built by the theoreticians of quantum field theory since this book was published. Quantum field theory is definitely still a very active subject, and there are lots of things in the theory that remain unsolved to this day.

This book arrived before due-date. It is in good condition and I am very much satisfied with it. Thank you.

It is a classical book in quantum mechanics...

According to the front matter of the book itself, it is illegal to sell this book outside a small Asian region. Also, the pages have been arbitrarily renumbered so cross-references and citations are difficult. The seller should not sell illegal books, and should say clearly that it is an incompatible printing from the expected book.
