Book Description:
|
This undergraduate textbook concentrates on how to make predictions about dimensions of the basic states of a quantum system from only two ingredients: the symmetry and the linear model of quantum mechanics. The reader is first introduced to an important example of a quantum system with symmetry and then given the mathematical tools to make predictions about it. This user-friendly exposition is driven by numerous examples and exercises.
