Ebook: Quantum Hamilton-Jacobi Formalism

This book describes the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism of quantum mechanics, which allows
computation of eigenvalues of quantum mechanical potential problems without solving for the
wave function. The examples presented include exotic potentials such as quasi-exactly solvable
models and Lame an dassociated Lame potentials. A careful application of boundary conditions
offers an insight into the nature of solutions of several potential models. Advanced
undergraduates having knowledge of complex variables and quantum mechanics will find this
as an interesting method to obtain the eigenvalues and eigen-functions. The discussion on
complex zeros of the wave function gives intriguing new results which are relevant for
advanced students and young researchers. Moreover, a few open problems in research are
discussed as well, which pose a challenge to the mathematically oriented readers.
