The text is divided in three parts, the first dealing with elementary particles, nuclei and atoms, the second presents quantum entanglement and measurement. Finally complex systems are examinated in depth. The aim of the text is to guide the student towards applying quantum mechanics to research problems. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students will find a rich and challenging source for improving their skills. This new edition has been extended with sections on neutrino oscillations, quantized vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates, quantum correlations in multi-particle systems, Bloch oscillations in periodic lattices and non-destructive quantum measurements.Quantum physicsElementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryLasersPhotonicsQuantum opticsCondensed matterQuantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Quantum Opticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050Condensed Matter Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25005Quantum physics.Elementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Lasers.Photonics.Quantum optics.Condensed matter.Quantum Physics.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.Quantum Optics.Condensed Matter Physics.530.12530.12Basdevant Jean-Louisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut45563Dalibard Jeanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337869303321The Quantum Mechanics Solver2544989UNINA
