Gives a fresh and modern approach to the field. It is a textbook on the principles of the theory, its mathematical framework and its first applications. It constantly refers to modern and practical developments, tunneling microscopy, quantum information, Bell inequalities, quantum cryptography, Bose-Einstein condensation and quantum astrophysics. The book also contains 92 exercises with their solutions.
In this book, Laloë presents our current understanding of the theory. The book explores the basic questions and difficulties that arise with the theory of quantum mechanics.
This account of the foundations of quantum mechanics is an introduction accessible to anyone with high school mathematics, and provides a rigorous discussion of important recent advances in the understanding of quantum physics, including ...
The classic textbook on quantum mechanics from Nobel Prize–winning physicist P. J. E. Peebles This book explains the often counterintuitive physics of quantum mechanics, unlocking this key area of physics for students by enabling them to ...
This bestselling textbook teaches students how to do quantum mechanics and provides an insightful discussion of what it actually means.
The text begins by presenting the classical theory of polarization, moving on to describe the quantum theory of polarization.
This text shows that insights in quantum physics can be obtained by exploring the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics.
A comprehensive collection of problems of varying degrees of difficulty in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, with answers and completely worked-out solutions. An ideal adjunct to any textbook in quantum mechanics.
This is also the first book on quantum theory that is not based on arbitrary and confusing axioms or foundation principles.
Beginning with a solid introduction to the key principles underpinning quantum mechanics in Part 1, the book goes on to expand upon these in Part 2, where fundamental concepts such as molecular structure and chemical bonding are discussed.
It would be impossible to learn quantum mechanics from one short book - but you can learn about quantum mechanics. This book is written for exactly that purpose.
