Description

Bridging the gap between traditional books on quantum and statistical physics, this series is an ideal introductory course for students who are looking for an alternative approach to the traditional academic treatment.

This pedagogical approach relies heavily on scientific or technological applications from a wide range of fields. For every new concept introduced, an application is given to connect the theoretical results to a real-life situation. Each volume features in-text exercises and detailed solutions, with easy-to-understand applications.

This first volume sets the scene of a new physics. It explains where quantum mechanics come from, its connection to classical physics and why it was needed at the beginning of the twentieth century. It examines how very simple models can explain a variety of applications such as quantum wells, thermoluminescence dating, scanning tunnel microscopes, quantum cryptography, masers, and how fluorescence can unveil the past of art pieces.

Contents: Experimental Puzzles and Birth of a New Constant in Physics:From Waves to ParticlesFrom Particles to Wave FieldsFrom Phenomenology to an Axiomatic Formulation of Quantum Physics:A Heuristic Approach to Quantum ModellingPiecewise Constant PotentialsQuantum Postulates and Their Mathematical ArtilleryA Classical to Quantum World Fuzzy Border:Phase Space Classical MechanicsQuantum Criteria (Who Needs Quantum Physics?)
Readership: Undergraduate students who need a concise introduction to quantum and statistical physics. Graduate students who want to return and learn about the subject from a different perspective.
Key Features:ConcisenessEmphasis on easy-to-understand applicationsExercises in the text with detailed solutionsFocus on applicable concepts (very little physics for its own sake)Detailed indexAdditional explanations on essential points which (over the years) have proved to be a recurrent difficulty for the student
