Cover of Scattering Theory of Molecules, Atoms and Nuclei
by Luiz Felipe Canto, Mahir S Hussein
Language: English
Release Date: November 27, 2012

The aim of the book is to give a coherent and comprehensive account of quantum scattering theory with applications to atomic, molecular and nuclear systems. The motivation for this is to supply the necessary theoretical tools to calculate scattering observables of these many-body systems. Concepts...
Cover of Group and Representation Theory
by J D Vergados
Language: English
Release Date: December 29, 2016

This volume goes beyond the understanding of symmetries and exploits them in the study of the behavior of both classical and quantum physical systems. Thus it is important to study the symmetries described by continuous (Lie) groups of transformations. We then discuss how we get operators that form...

The Holy Grail of Modern Physics

Pursuing a Nobel Prize

by Balungi Francis
Language: English
Release Date: May 17, 2019

In the Holy Grail of modern physics , theoretical physicist Balungi Francis provocatively argues that the problems which have bedeviled quantum physics since its inception are due to Bohr's wrong solution to the Larmor theory. In this vibrant and accessible book, Balungi modifies the Larmor...

Subjects...
Cover of Quantum Mechanics: Genesis and Achievements
by Alexander Komech
Language: English
Release Date: October 24, 2012

The focus of the present work is nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum mechanics with standard applications to the hydrogen atom. The author has aimed at presenting quantum mechanics in a comprehensive yet accessible for mathematicians and other non-physicists. The genesis of quantum mechanics,...
Cover of Tensor Network States and Effective Particles for Low-Dimensional Quantum Spin Systems
by Laurens Vanderstraeten
Language: English
Release Date: August 10, 2017

This thesis develops new techniques for simulating the low-energy behaviour of quantum spin systems in one and two dimensions. Combining these developments, it subsequently uses the formalism of tensor network states to derive an effective particle description for one- and two-dimensional spin systems...
Cover of The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics
by Daniel F. Styer
Language: English
Release Date: February 24, 2000

This is an exceptionally accessible, accurate, and non-technical introduction to quantum mechanics. After briefly summarizing the differences between classical and quantum behaviour, this engaging account considers the Stern-Gerlach experiment and its implications, treats the concepts of probability,...

Essentials and Analogies in Quantum Physics

by Bogdan Povh, Mitja Rosina
Language: English
Release Date: May 5, 2017

Quantum physics may appear complicated, especially if one forgets the "big picture" and gets lost in the details. However, it can become clearer and less tangled if one applies a few fundamental concepts so that simplified approaches can emerge and estimated orders of magnitude become clear....

The Universe as Quantum Information

by Vlatko Vedral
Language: English
Release Date: February 2, 2018

For a physicist, all the world is information. The Universe and its workings are the ebb and flow of information. We are all transient patterns of information, passing on the recipe for our basic forms to future generations using a four-letter digital code called DNA. In this engaging and mind-stretching...
