INTRODUCTION TO QUANTUM THEORY
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 covers a wider range of topics than conventional
textbooks.
Emphasis is given to modern achievements such as 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 that readers can understand the concepts. 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.
Harry Paul is a retired Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Institute of Physics,
Humboldt University Berlin. His research interests are in nuclear physics and
quantum theory, especially laser theory, nonlinear optics and quantum optics.
