There was no need for a major revision of the text but I have taken the opportunity to make several amendments and improvements. A number of misprints and minor errors have been corrected and a few clarifying remarks have been added at various places. A few figures have been added or revised, in particular the three-dimensional density plots in Chap. 9. I am grateful to several colleagues for helpful comments, in particular to Prof. R.A. King (Calgary) who supplied a comprehensive list of corrections. I also thank Dr. A. Scherdin for help with the figures and Dr. R. Mattiello who has supervised the preparation of the third edition of the book. Furthermore I acknowledge the agreeable collaboration with Dr. H. 1. Kolsch and his team at Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg. 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aSpintronics 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aSpintronics. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics. 676 $a530.12 700 $aGreiner$b Walter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$029887 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818898903321 996 $aQuantum mechanics$9190153 997 $aUNINA
