Quantum Evolution : An Introduction to Time-Dependent Quantum Mechanics
Published in Hardcover by Wiley-Interscience (27 August, 1999)
Author: James E. Bayfield
Average review score:

Good, but improvements needed
This book presents good introductory materials for graduate students who look for PhD dissertation topics, it starts out with classical integrable systems, semi-classical quatization on tori, classical phase space "formulations" (word borrowed from D Styer, Phys Today, Sept. 2000, Amer J Phys, Mar 2002), for example, Torres-Vega and Frederick's phase space studies of the Gaussian wavefunction scattering by the step potential, and then move on to review many published studies in chemical physics, for example, dynamical tunneling of the clean and dirty (words borrowed from E J Heller, J Phys Chem, Riceschrift, 1995) eigenfunctions of the Henon-Heiles system, the kicked (periodically perturbed) systems, and so on. As pointed out by Linda Reichl in her review in Amer J Phys (Mar 2002), this book is strong on quantum external control, Reichl also mentioned that this book does not contain exercises for students, making it less attractive as a text. Another drawback that keeps it from becoming a text is that it is too broad and too brief about everything, from semi-classical quantization to the FFT used in both the split operator (Feit, Fleck, Steigen, and Hermann) and the Chebychev (Kosloff and Kosloff) approaches to time-advancing the wavefunction. It is hard not to compare this book with others on similar topics, for example, Semiclassical Physics by Brack and Bhaduri, Quantum Chaos: An Introduction by Stockmann (read Heller's review in Phys Today, Jan 2001), Transition to Chaos by Linda Reichl, Quantum Signature by Haake, (Gutzwiller book is regarded as more advanced), it is probably more in the same level as Brack and Bhaduri and its other features also parallel B&B, for example, the greatest majority of the figures are reproductions of the original literature. This does impose the question to the readers who do have access to the original literature, like the students on any State university campus, whether they should buy the book at ca. ... or photocopy the referred articles from the original journals at 8 cents per page. The indexing of this book is worth mentioning, the primary reference to a term, for example, the definition of it, stands out in bold face, and all other references to the same term are in regular fonts.
