Opis

An accessible introduction to advanced quantum theory, this textbook focuses on its practical applications, ideal for graduate students in physics.

Recenzje

'This is a clear and concise graduate-level textbook with an emphasis on applications. It is ideal for readers wishing to apply quantum mechanics to construct quantum dots, qubits and nanodevices. The authors use a fresh approach to discuss the quantization of fields, the interaction of radiation and matter and coherent states, which I found to be very helpful. This unique presentation ends with a brief introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics.' Barry R. Masters, Optics and Photonics News
