The Semiclassical Way to Dynamics and Spectroscopy

A graduate-level text that examines the semiclassical approach to quantum mechanics

Physical systems have been traditionally described in terms of either classical or quantum mechanics. But in recent years, semiclassical methods have developed rapidly, providing deep physical insight and computational tools for quantum dynamics and spectroscopy. In this book, Eric Heller introduces and develops this subject, demonstrating its power with many examples.

In the first half of the book, Heller co...
