理论原子物理学第3版

本书主要讲解量子力学基本原理在现代原子物理学中的应用。在新版中，作者增添了理论原子物理领域的最新进展，介绍了目前大家非常感兴趣的议题，包括半经典周期轨道理论、外场中原子的标度性质、双电子原子的经典和量子动力学以及原子气体的玻色－爱因斯坦凝聚等。本书还简明介绍了原子光学中若干前沿研究，这是目前和未来超冷原子实验必不可少的知识。作者强调基本理论的解释，使读者能够理解标准理论结构里蕴藏的丰富物理思想，从而可以独立进行科学研究工作。此外，形式各异的习题及其完整的解答过程为本书添色不少。本书被选为德国Springer出版社的“高等物理学教材”，这是一套非常优秀的教材。目次：量子力学概要；原子和离子；原子光谱；简单反应；专题；附录：特殊数学函数；习题答案；索引。
原子物理是物理学中最具有活力的前沿领域之一，它在推动人们对自然界的认知方面发挥了重要作用。在过去几年里，该领域及相关领域因原子激光冷却（1997年）、玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚的实现（2001年）以及光的量子相干性与精密光谱学的发展（2005年）三次摘取诺贝尔物理学奖桂冠。读者对象：理论物理、原子分子物理和物理化学等专业的高年级本科生、研究生和相关领域的科研人员。
