Following an initial review of the origins of special relativity and quantum mechanics, individual chapters are devoted to the second quantization of the electromagnetic field and the consequences of light field quantization for the description of electromagnetic transitions. The spin of the electron is then analyzed, with particular attention to its derivation from the Dirac equation. Subsequent topics include the effects of external electric and magnetic fields on the atomic spectra and the properties of systems composed of many interacting identical particles. The book also provides a detailed explanation of the second quantization of the non-relativistic matter field, i.e., the Schrödinger field, which offers a powerful tool for the investigation of many-body problems, and of atomic quantum optics and entanglement. Finally, two new chapters introduce the finite-temperature functional integration of bosonic and fermionic fields for the study of macroscopic quantum phenomena: superfluidity and superconductivity. Several solved problems are included at the end of each chapter, helping readers put into practice all that they have learned. 410 0$aUNITEXT for Physics,$x2198-7890 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aQuantum statistics 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aQuantum Physics 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory 606 $aQuantum Gases and Condensates 606 $aCondensed Matter Physics 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aQuantum statistics. 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aQuantum Gases and Condensates. 615 24$aCondensed Matter Physics. 676 $a530.12 700 $aSalasnich$b Luca$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0602994 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254589303321 996 $aQuantum Physics of Light and Matter$91770422 997 $aUNINA
