Quantum Mechanics on The Macintosh presents the most up-to-date access to elementary quantum mechanics.

Based on the interactive program Interquanta and its extensive 3-D color graphic features, the book guides its readers through computer experiments on free particles and wave packets, bound states in various potentials, coherent and squeezed states in time-dependent motion, scattering, resonances and tunneling, analogies in optics, quantized angular momentum, distinguishable and indistinguishable particles, and special functions of mathematical physics.

For students, the book's variety of more than 280 detailed, class-tested problems provides a unique and practical experience of complex amplitudes, eigenvalues, scattering cross sections, and the like. Lecturers and teachers will find excellent, hands-on classroom demonstrations for their quantum mechanics courses. For this new edition, the Interquanta program has been revised and updated, and the installation procedure has been simplified.
