Advanced quantum mechanics

Advanced Quantum Mechanics, the second volume on quantum mechanics by Franz Schwabl, discusses nonrelativistic multi-particle systems, relativistic wave equations and relativistic quantum fields. Characteristic of the authoŕs work are the comprehensive mathematical discussions in which all intermedi...
