DESCRIPTION:
It is also useful for researchers looking for an accessible introduction to this important area of quantum theory.. The bulk of the book covers the description of rotations (geometrically and group-theoretically) and their representations, and the quantum theory of angular momentum. Symmetries in Quantum Mechanics: From Angular Momentum to Supersymmetry (PBK) provides a thorough, didactic exposition of the role of symmetry, particularly rotational symmetry, in quantum mechanics. With clear, in-depth explanations, the book is ideal for use as a course text for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics and those specializing in theoretical physics. Later chapters introduce more advanced topics such as relativistic theory, supersymmetry, anyons, fractional spin, and statistics
Excellent introduction to Angular Momentum in QM I found this book to be very helpful in gaining a deeper understanding of the role of angular momentum in quantum mechanics. It was also a good introduction to Lie groups and Lie algebras for someone whos background is in physics and not math. I've found the book to be an invaluable reference!
