It covers analytical mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, special and general relativity and non-relativistic quantum theory, fully developing the necessary mathematical methods beyond standard calculus. The central theme is scientific curiosity and the main focus is on the experimental meaning of all quantities and equations. Several recent verifications of General Relativity are presented, with emphasis on the physical effects ? why they were predicted to exist and what signals they were seen to produce. Similarly, the basic reasons why superconductors have zero resistance and are perfect diamagnets are pinpointed. Quantum Eraser Experiments and Delayed Choice Experiments are described. Many statements of Quantum Theory are a challenge to common sense and some crucial predictions have often been considered hard to believe and have been tested experimentally. The book examines the EPR paradox, Bell states and teleportation. To show the beauty and richness of the subject, various topics from different areas of Physics are covered. These include: discrete quantum models and lattices (periodic and not), Casimir effect, Anyons, Fano Resonances, the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect, the Aharonov-Bohm effect, the Meitner-Auger effect, Squeezed Light, the Rabi model, neutrino oscillations, aspects of Quantum Transport, Quantum Pumping, and Berry phases, black holes and cosmological problems. 410 0$aUNITEXT for Physics,$x2198-7882 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aMechanics 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aClassical Mechanics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21018 606 $aThermodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aMechanics. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aClassical Mechanics. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 676 $a530 700 $aCini$b Michele$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0623432 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300552503321 996 $aElements of Classical and Quantum Physics$91864511 997 $aUNINA
