Computer-generated illustrations in color are used extensively throughout the text, helping to establish the relation between quantum mechanics—wave functions, interference, atomic structure, and so forth—and classical physics—point mechanics, statistical mechanics, and wave optics. Even more important, by studying the pictures in parallel with the text, readers develop an intuition for such notoriously abstract phenomena as:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe tunnel effect \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexcitation and decay of metastable states \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewave-packet motion within a well \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esystems of distinguishable and indistinguishable particles \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efree wave packets and scattering in 3 dimensions \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eangular-momentum decomposition \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estationary bound states in various 3-dimensional potentials \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehybrid states \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKepler motion of wave packets in the Coulomb field \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003espin and magnetic resonance \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations from experiments in a variety of fields, including chemistry, and molecular, atomic, nuclear, and particle physics, underline the basic as well as the practical importance of quantum mechanics.
