Quantum Mechanics Book for B.Sc. 3rd Year, Engineering & Polytechnic | Kanha Pub

Quantum Mechanics by Kanha Publishing House, Gorakhpur, is a Physics textbook authored by R.B. Singh, Dr. A.K. Dwivedi, Dr. Ramesh Kumar Yadav, Mukesh Kumar and Umesh Mishra. It covers fundamental and advanced concepts of quantum mechanics for students studying Physics at undergraduate and technical levels.

The book begins with the Origin of Quantum Concepts, including the photoelectric effect, Einstein’s explanation of the photoelectric effect, Compton effect and dual nature of radiation. It then explains the wave nature of matter, de Broglie hypothesis, experimental verification, wave packets and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.

The next chapters cover the Schrödinger Equation and its applications, including stationary states, wave functions, probability current density, angular momentum operators and eigenvalue equations. The section on operators in quantum mechanics discusses commutators, compatible and incompatible observables, Hermitian operators, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, Ehrenfest theorem and postulates of quantum mechanics.

Additional topics include potential step and potential barrier problems, quantum tunnelling, alpha decay, eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of angular momentum, particle in a box, one-dimensional and three-dimensional harmonic oscillators, and the hydrogen atom. The book also includes electron probability density, quantum numbers and energy levels.
