โฆ Synopsis
This work explores the application of harmonic oscillator states in problems of atomic, molecular, nuclear and elementary particle physics.The early chapters offer a comprehensive discussion of problems involving from one to four particles and the n-particle problem in the Hartree-Fock approximation, with extensive use of the transformation brackets for harmonic oscillator coefficients and related concepts. The application of harmonic oscillator states to scattering problems is also discussed, as is the group theory underlying the harmonic oscillator and its application to the Coulomb problem, collective motions in nuclei, and relativistic many body problems with oscillator interactions.

This book describes in detail the oscillator representation method and its application to an approximate solution of the Schr?dinger equation with an appropriate interaction Hamiltonian. The method also works well in quantum field theory in the strong coupling regime in calculations of path integral
