The present monograph is a revised and extended version of a book (together with \textit{A. I. Baz'}) published in 1971 in Russian on ``Scattering, reactions, and decays in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The emphasis of the present book now is upon reducing the gap between ordinary textbooks on quantum mechanics and the present-day study of problems in atomic and nuclear theory. Specifically, it treats systems with low binding energies, unstable systems, and non-stationary problems for the quantum oscillator. Applications include the interaction with the electromagnetic field of a laser. With regard to the underlying mathematics the authors adopt a very conservative point of view. In fact, the methods carefully introduced and applied here are the traditional ones: analytic properties of the scattering matrix and Jost functions, approach via the Green functions, quasi-classical (WKB) approximation, and the inverse scattering method. Very unfortunately, dispersion relations, Regge poles, the Feynman path integral method, and recent results on stochastic Schrödinger operators are not included in this book. Thus almost no specialist knowledge is assumed beyond undergraduate analysis.
