Book Description

1584881976 978-1584881971 September 21, 2000 1
Following Witten's remarkable discovery of the quantum mechanical scheme in which all the salient features of supersymmetry are embedded, SCQM (supersymmetric classical and quantum mechanics) has become a separate area of research . In recent years, progress in this field has been dramatic and the literature continues to grow. Until now, no book has offered an overview of the subject with enough detail to allow readers to become rapidly familiar with its key ideas and methods.

Supersymmetry in Classical and Quantum Mechanics offers that overview and summarizes the major developments of the last 15 years. It provides both an up-to-date review of the literature and a detailed exposition of the underlying SCQM principles. For those just beginning in the field, the author presents step-by-step details of most of the computations. For more experienced readers, the treatment includes systematic analyses of more advanced topics, such as quasi- and conditional solvability and the role of supersymmetry in nonlinear systems.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This interesting and instructive monograph partially fills the gap in the literature concerning the subject of quantization of supersymmetric systems in general. It gives a brief account of many major developments of non-relativistic supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SSQM) in the last fifteen years.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good only for its references, June 10, 2009
By 
This review is from: Supersymmetry In Quantum and Classical Mechanics (Hardcover)
I tried reading this book several times, but could not survive more than a dozen pages. It suffers from several severe disadvantages:
1. Although the author declares that "The book is written for students", he assumes for some reason an extremely broad background, from the basic terminology of supersymmetry to thorough knowledge of the two-mode squeezed state. This problem alone made the book almost worthless for me.
2. The derivations are over-complex, involve multiple variable changes, and rely on many unexplained assumptions. I usually lost the track after three steps.
3. You hardly find a page without a typo, some of them with crucial implications.
Therefore, if one wishes to learn supersymmetry in quantum mechanics, I would recommend Junker's book instead, or, if interested in the topic more from the quantum mechanical viewpoint, the book of Cooper, Khare and Sukhatme.
The only good thing about this book is that it contains a plethora of references, to sources that most probably explain a wide array of subjects much better than this book does.
