Introduction to quantum theory / Harry Paul.
Paul, Harry, 1931-| Call Number | 530.12 |
| Author | Paul, Harry, 1931- author. |
| Title | Introduction to quantum theory / Harry Paul. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (viii, 176) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Unexpected findings -- Quantum states -- Measurement -- Correlations -- Philosophy -- Interaction -- Conservation laws -- Spin and statistics -- Macroscopic quantum effects -- Quantum computing. |
| Summary | Since its emergence in the early twentieth century, quantum theory has become the fundamental physical paradigm, and is essential to our understanding of the world. Providing a deeper understanding of the microscopic world through quantum theory, this supplementary text reviews a wider range of topics than conventional textbooks. Emphasis is given to modern entanglement, quantum teleportation, and Bose-Einstein condensation. Macroscopic quantum effects of practical relevance, for example superconductivity and the quantum Hall effect, are also described. Looking to the future, the author discusses the exciting prospects for quantum computing. Physical, rather than formal, explanations are given, and mathematical formalism is kept to a minimum so readers can understand the concepts more easily. Theoretical discussions are combined with a description of the corresponding experimental results. This book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in quantum theory and quantum optics. |
