Time Dependent Quantum Mechanics and Spectroscopy 2025e
Andrei Tokmakoff · University of Chicago
This book is meant as a resource for those that study quantum mechanics, dynamics, and spectroscopy of molecular systems. It's written with chemists in mind: people whose view of the world is formed in the language of atoms and molecules. It is also meant as a reference for practitioners in the field who may be familiar with the topic but perhaps not the molecular perspective. This edition adds considerable new material to the 2014 edition as well as extensive editing to the whole book.

Atomic Physics for Everyone: An Introduction to Atomic Physics, Quantum Mechanics, and Precision Spectroscopy with No College-Level Prerequisites
Will Raven · Springer · 2025
This open access textbook introduces beginning undergraduate students and high school students to the world of quantum mechanics and atomic spectroscopy. Requiring no previous knowledge of physics and no math beyond basic algebra and sines and cosines, this book focuses on concepts to make the excitement of atomic physics more accessible for learners than ever before. It comes replete with learning goals, exercises and solutions, and an optional experimental component, making this text readily adoptable for both the classroom and the undergraduate lab. The book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour through topics at the forefront of current science, including photons, quantum numbers, atomic energy levels, some different spectroscopy techniques, electronic structure, atomic notation, angular momentum, hyperfine structure, isotope shifts, the strong force, an introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and more.
