This concise textbook introduces an innovative computational approach to quantum mechanics. Over the course of this engaging and informal book, students are encouraged to take an active role in learning key concepts by working through practical exercises. The book equips readers with some basic methodology and a toolbox of scientific computing methods, so they can use code to simulate and directly visualize how quantum particles behave. The important foundational elements of the wave function and the Schrödinger equation are first…
Helps readers to develop a more intuitive understanding of quantum physics by making the subject tangible and visual
Encourages readers to use both analytical and numerical methods to solve problems
Covers a wide range of quantum phenomena including tunnelling, interference and quantization, and includes a focused chapter on quantum technology and applications

Author
Sølve Selstø,Oslo Metropolitan University
Sølve Selstø is Professor of Physics at Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway. His research focusses on computational and theoretical quantum physics. He teaches both physics and mathematics, and believes that understanding within science and mathematics predominantly emerges from working with and discussing real-world problems. Selstø has previously written an introductory textbook on numerical methods, which he believes are valuable for both their utility and their ability to make theory tangible.
