Riassunto

This innovative modern physics textbook is intended as a first introduction to quantum mechanics and its applications. Townsend's new text shuns the historical ordering that characterizes other so-called modern physics textbooks and applies a truly modern approach to this subject, starting instead with contemporary single-photon and single-atom interference experiments. The text progresses naturally from a thorough introduction to wave mechanics through applications of quantum mechanics to solid-state, nuclear, and particle physics, thereby including most of the topics normally presented in a modern physics course.

'Townsend has written an excellent book that someone needed to write for the modern physics textbook market. He has given it the same care that he gave to his excellent quantum mechanics book.'
- Jeff Dunham, Middlebury College, USA 

'When I read this book I immediately adopted it for my sophomore modern physics class. This is the best introduction to quantum mechanics available.'
- B. Paul Padley, Rice University, USA 

'I very much recommend Townsend's book to physics undergraduates, as well as lecturers. They will learn a great deal about quantum theory as well as how to teach it in an accessible and friendly way.' - Vlatko Vedral, University of Oxford, Contemporary Physics
