More Physics with MATLAB
(with Companion Media Pack)
Language: English
Release Date: March 24, 2015
This text continues the exploration of the use of MATLAB tools and features in visualizing physical processes. The symbolic math packages are important in solving those problems which are amenable to closed form solution, while the numerical packages are used for the remaining problems. The results...

Language: English
Release Date: July 18, 2012
The aim of this book is to explain the basic concepts and phenomena of quantum mechanics by means of visualisation. Computer-generated illustrations in color are used extensively throughout the text, helping to establish the relation between quantum mechanics—wave functions, interference, atomic...
Quantum Physics: The Bottom-Up Approach
From the Simple Two-Level System to Irreducible Representations
Language: English
Release Date: January 11, 2013
This concise tutorial provides the bachelor student and the practitioner with a short text on quantum physics that allows them to understand a wealth of quantum phenomena based on a compact, well readable, yet still concise and accurate description of nonrelativistic quantum theory. This “quadrature...

Release Date: June 19, 2014
Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the microseconds-old universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal dissipation that it cannot be seen as made of particles. String theory provides a powerful toolbox for studying...
Lie Groups, Physics, and Geometry
An Introduction for Physicists, Engineers and Chemists
Language: English
Release Date: January 17, 2008
Describing many of the most important aspects of Lie group theory, this book presents the subject in a 'hands on' way. Rather than concentrating on theorems and proofs, the book shows the applications of the material to physical sciences and applied mathematics. Many examples of Lie groups and Lie...

Lectures on Quantum Mechanics
Volume 2: Simple Systems
Language: English
Release Date: May 18, 2006
Note: ∗The three volumes are not sequential but rather independent of each other and largely self-contained.
The reader of Simple Systems is not expected to be familiar with the material in Basic Matters, but should have the minimal knowledge of a standard brief introduction to quantum mechanics...
