Riassunto

The aim of this book is to provide support for lecture courses on general quantum physics for university undergraduates in the final year(s) of a physics degree programme. The first chapter is a review of the basic quantum mechanics needed for getting the best out of the text. Instructors are then free to concentrate on a group of chapters, or select components from all chapters, whichever suits their needs. The text covers key themes of quantum physics, taking the perspective achieved after more than a century of research, and emphasising the effectiveness and the subtlety of quantum concepts in explaining diverse physical phenomena. The book is used to bring out these unifying ideas and illustrate them with important examples from modern experiments and applications.

Care has been taken to maintain a level of presentation accessible to undergraduates, and to provide exercises and solutions to reinforce the learning process. Solutions to the exercises are available via the OUP webpage link for the book.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Ian Kenyon is an elementary particle physicist in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham, UK. He took part in the discovery of the carriers of the weak force, working at CERN for three years on the design, construction, data-taking and analysis of the UA1 experiment. Earlier he designed and constructed the optics for the Northwestern University 50cm liquid helium bubble chamber. More recently he worked at the HERA electron-proton collider on the H1 experiment. He is the author of three advanced textbooks for physics undergraduates: Elementary Particle Physics, General Relativity (also translated into Japanese) and The Light Fantastic - A Modern Introduction to Classical and Quantum Optics.
