Riassunto

This book aims to provide an intuitive understanding of wave mechanics by using computer generated illustrations to present the time evolution and parameter dependence of wave functions for one and three-dimensional systems. The situations discussed range from the simple particle in a box through resonant scattering in one dimension to the hydrogen atom and Regge classification of resonant scattering. The text helps students to establish the relation between quantum mechanics and classical physics.
