Modern Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information (eBook, ePUB)

A Pracitcal Applications Approach

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The author of this book, John Samuel Faulkner FAPS FAAAS, is well known for his applications of quantum mechanics to calculations of the electronic structure of solids. He has also taught many courses in graduate quantum mechanics. As applications of quantum mechanics have evolved, he found it necessary to supplement the material in available textbooks with his own notes. The results of this evolution, Modern Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information, surveys the fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics against the backdrop of its use in modern science applications and includes an introduction into the field of quantum information.

While providing a review of the basics, philosophical questions of quantum theory are discussed alongside the concepts used in quantum condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, and quantum information. The book covers numerous topics that do not appear in older texts. These include a mathematically sound treatment of delta functions and the rigged Hilbert space, an exposition of many-body theory including density functional theory and Feynman diagrams, and an explanation of chemical bonds and energy band theory. The book also contains expansive chapters on relativistic Dirac theory, group theory including Lie groups, exotic quantum phenomena, interpretations of quantum theory, quantum computers and quantum cryptography. Each chapter of the book ends with a set of questions and exercises for the student.

The purpose of the book is as a text for a graduate course in quantum mechanics. It is ideal for upper undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers looking to develop within the field, this book provides a wide-ranging and high-level introduction to Modern Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information.
