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.
