Quantum Mechanics

Theory and Experiment

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This textbook presents quantum mechanics at the junior/senior undergraduate level. It is unique in that it describes not only quantum theory, but also presents five laboratories that explore truly modern aspects of quantum mechanics. The book also includes discussions of quantum measurement, entanglement, quantum field theory and quantum information.
