This book is a revised and updated version of Introductory Quantum Physics and Relativity. Based on lectures given as part of the undergraduate degree programme at the University of Leeds, it has been extended in line with recent developments in the field. The book contains all the material required for quantum physics and relativity in the first three years of a traditional physics degree, in addition to more interesting and up-to-date extensions and applications which include quantum field theory, entanglement, and quantum information science.

The second edition is unique as an undergraduate textbook as it combines quantum physics and relativity at an introductory level. It expounds the foundations of these two subjects in detail, but also illustrates how they can be combined. It discusses recent applications, but also exposes undergraduates to cutting-edge research topics, such as laser cooling, Bose–Einstein condensation, tunneling microscopes, lasers, nonlocality, and quantum teleportation.

Contents:

  • Introduction
  • Old Quantum Theory
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Applications of Quantum Mechanics
  • Schrödinger Equation in Three Dimensions
  • Spin and Statistics
  • Atoms, Molecules and Lasers
  • Formal Structure of Quantum Mechanics
  • Second Revolution: Relativity
  • Fine Structure of the Hydrogen Atom
  • Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
  • Quantum Entanglement
  • Solutions

Readership: Students taking undergraduate-level courses in quantum physics and relativity.
Key Features:

  • Combines Quantum Physics and Relativity. Covers the two subjects in a more coherent way than existing books. Many universities teach quantum physics and relativity together as one lecture course and so a book that covers both but also shows how they can be combined is a valuable resource
  • Modern Choice of Topics. We will draw on topics from our own research to bring the two subjects up to date and give students a taste of cutting edge research. Examples will include such things as laser cooling, Bose condensation, tunneling microscopes, lasers, Bell's inequalities, quantum teleportation
  • Has questions and answers — ideal for self-study. This is pitched at typical exam level and so will be excellent for exam practice
