Release Date: June 30, 2017
Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics or quantum theory) including quantum field theory, is a fundamental branch of physics concerned with processes involving, for example, atoms and photons. In such processes, said to be quantized, the action has been observed to be only in integer...
Solid State Quantum Information — An Advanced Textbook
Quantum Aspect of Many-Body Systems
Language: English
Release Date: February 22, 2018
This book on solid state physics has been written with an emphasis on recent developments in quantum many-body physics approaches. It starts by covering the classical theory of solids and electrons and describes how this classical model has failed. The authors then present the quantum mechanical model...
Emergence of the Quantum from the Classical
Mathematical Aspects of Quantum Processes
Language: English
Release Date: November 10, 2017
The emergence of quantum mechanics from classical world mechanics is now a well-established theme in mathematical physics. This book demonstrates that quantum mechanics can indeed be viewed as a refinement of Hamiltonian mechanics, and builds on the work of George Mackey in relation to their mathematical...
The Emerging Quantum
The Physics Behind Quantum Mechanics
Language: English
Release Date: July 15, 2014
This monograph presents the latest findings from a long-term research project intended to identify the physics behind Quantum Mechanics. A fundamental theory for quantum mechanics is constructed from first physical principles, revealing quantization as an emergent phenomenon arising from a deeper...
Balungi's Approach to Quantum Gravity
Pursuing a Nobel Prize
Language: English
Release Date: May 17, 2019
While Quantum mechanics and General Relativity are both highly successful, these two structures leave a lot of important questions unanswered. They are also based on two different interpretations of space and time, and are therefore fundamentally incompatible. We have two descriptions but, as far...

Language: English
Release Date: March 12, 2019
This textbook grew out of lecture notes the author used in delivering a quantum field theory (QFT) course for students (both in high energy physics and condensed matter) who already had an initial exposure to the subject.
It begins with the path integral method of quantization presented in...
