Operator Methods in Quantum Mechanics

The purpose of this volume is two-fold; to provide an introduction to the use of operator methods in quantum mechanics and to serve as a reference work on this topic. As such it should be suitable for use as a complement to senior and graduate courses in quantum mechanics. Although this is primarily a book on applications of operator methods, the presentation is made self-contained by including an introductory chapter on the formalism on quantum mechanics and by giving some background material at various points in the text. Although there has been much research on operator methods to solve quantum mechanical problems many of these results have remained scattered in the literature and therefore somewhat inaccessible to the non-specialist until now.
