Quantum Mechanics (eBook, PDF)

A Modern and Concise Introductory Course

Beschreibung

Starting from basic principles, the book systematically covers both Heisenberg and Schrödinger realizations of quantum mechanics (in this order). Additions and changes found in the second edition include a more friendly presentation to Hilbert spaces, more practical applications e.g. scanning tunneling microscope (potential barrier), quantum dots (single-particle states in semiconductors), and lasers and masers (induced emission). There are examples of real experiments that have recently provided a qualitative change in the foundations of quantum physics, and the book provides an outline of the density matrix formalism as applied to a simple model of decoherence. There is an excellent didactic introduction to the essential principles, and the book treats recent concepts such as entanglement and decoherence, as well as giving the background needed to understand quantum cryptography, teleportation and computation. The book is especially suitable for introducing the spin.

Autor

Daniel R. Bes made his undergraduate studies at the University of Buenos Aires, UBA, (1950-54), and performed the equivalent of graduate work at the Niels Bohr Institute, NBI, (1956-59), under the advice of A. Bohr and B. Mottelson (Nobel prizes, 1975), on the subject of vibrations in deformed nuclei. Later on Bes became a frequent visitor to the NBI.

Since 1962 he was part in the construction of a first rate Department of Physics at UBA, an experience drastically interrupted in 1966 for political reasons. Subsequently Bes held positions at Carnegie-Mellon University (1967-68) and at the University of Minnesota (1968-71), where he became Full Professor. In 1971 he returned to Argentina, to work at the Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica, through an appointment from the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (an arrangement from which he presently benefits again). Between 1998-2003 he was Dean of the newly created Facultad de Ingeniería of the Universidad Favaloro. He has been cofounder of the magazine Ciencia Hoy (1989), and President of the Asociación Física Argentina (1994-1998).

Bes has been author/coauthor of more than 120 publications in international physics journals. He has also been interested on topics such as nuclear disarmament and the Latinoamerican debt.
