Quantum Mechanics Demystified

Chapter 5 Errata
Page 119 solution to Example 5.6, term is missing

 x 
 
u u = ( x 3x −2x )  3x  = x 2 + 9 x 2 = 14 x 2
 −2 x 
 

Should read:

 x 
 
u u = ( x 3x −2x )  3x  = x 2 + 9 x 2 + 4 x2 = 14 x 2
 −2 x 
 

Next line,

u = u u = 14 x

Should read

u = u u = 14 x2 = 14 x

Page 123 Solution to Example 5.10

 0   −1   0   0  1
         
2 b − c = 2  1 −  0  =  2  +  1 =  2 = a
 0   −1   0   0  1
      

Should read:

 0   −1   0   1  1
         
2 b − c = 2  1 −  0  =  2  +  0 =  2 = a
 0   −1   0   1  1
      

Page 123 Example 5.11 problem statement should read:


2  0  0
     
a =  0 , b =  −1 , c = 0 
0 0  −4 
     

Page 125 Definition: Representing a Ket as a Bra should read:

To obtain the bra corresponding to a given ket use the Hermitian conjugation operation:

(α ψ )
†
=α* ψ

Page 126, solution to Example 5.12 part (d), next to last line

⇒ ψ + φ = ( 3 + 2i ) u1 − 6 u 2 + ( 4 + i ) u3

Should read:

⇒ ψ + φ = ( 3 + 2i ) u1 − 5 u2 + ( 4 + i ) u3
