Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A book on quantum physics owes its reader, before anything else, an account of what it is and what it is not.It is not an encyclopaedia: encyclopaedias flatter completeness and punish understanding. Nor is it acompendium of recipes for examination day, a genre whose usefulness is real, brief, and fatal to curiosity. Itis, rather, an argument - a single, extended argument that begins with a stove that glowed the wrong colourand ends, twenty-seven chapters later, with machines that compute upon superpositions and clocks that losea second in the lifetime of the universe.The book is complete in a single volume. It carries the subject from its experimental origins to thefrontiers of quantum information, optics, thermodynamics and technology, across six Parts and twentysevenchapters. Part I lays the mathematical and physical foundations; Part II erects non-relativisticquantum mechanics upon them; Part III treats approximation methods and scattering; Part IV extends thetheory to symmetry, path integrals and relativity; Part V develops quantum statistical mechanics and manybodyphysics; and Part VI carries the whole into quantum information, computation, optics, open systems, thermodynamics, and the applications of the quantum in nature and technology. A set of referenceappendices closes the book.The method throughout is dialectical, in the plain sense of that abused word. Each concept is introduced as athesis, confronted with the difficulty or the experiment that refuses it - the antithesis - and resolved into astructure that preserves what was right in both. This is not a stylistic ornament; it is how the subject actuallydeveloped, and, more importantly, it is how the subject is actually understood. Nobody ever believedquantum mechanics because it was announced. One believes it because every alternative has been given a fairtrial and has perished honourably in court.Two promises govern the mathematics. First, nothing falls from the sky: every equation is derived fromstated premises, and where a derivation is deferred to a later chapter, the deferral is confessed in writing.Second, no algebraic step is skipped on the grounds that the reader could supply it. The reader could; thereader should not have to. Worked examples are solved completely, including the exact keystroke sequencesfor the TI-84 Plus CE calculator; exercises with full solutions close every chapter.A request. A book of this length, prepared by a single hand, will contain errors despite every care takenagainst them. I would be very glad to receive the report of any mistake, ambiguity or obscurity the readerencounters - typographical, mathematical or conceptual. Every such correction will be acknowledged andfolded into subsequent printings. Whatever errors remain are my own, exclusively, and no reader whotroubles to point one out will find the courtesy unwelcome. Corrections may be sent to me directly at.R. M. M.
