This book introduces contemporary cutting-edge research in quantum mechanics through problems and solutions based on topics rarely covered in the classroom. It is an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate students alike, as well as for instructors and early-career researchers in quantum mechanics, to complement traditional textbooks.
This helpful and pedagogical book offers problems and solutions in quantum mechanics from areas of current research, rarely addressed in introductory courses or textbooks. It is based on the authors' own experience of teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in quantum mechanics, and adapts problems from contemporary research publications to be accessible to students. Each section introduces key quantum mechanical concepts, which are followed by exercises that grow progressively more challenging throughout the chapter. The step-by-step solutions provide detailed mathematical derivations, and explore their application to wider research topics. This is an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate students alike, expanding the range of topics usually covered in the classroom, as well as for instructors and early-career researchers in quantum mechanics, quantum computation and communication, and quantum information.

Prof Lilia M. Woods is Professor and Associate Chair at the Department of Physics, University of South Florida where she has taught many courses in the past two decades. An academician with a stellar publication record, her research focus is on several aspects of quantum mechanics, nanomaterials, device-modelling etc. Pablo Rodríguez López is an assistant professor at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid and is a part of the GISC. Since finishing his PhD at the Complutense University of Madrid, followed by postdoctoral experience at the University of Loughborough, the National Centre for Scientific Research of France (CNRS) and Spain (CSIC), and the University of South Florida, he has been a collaborator of Lilia M. Woods and has authored many high-impact publications.
