From the physical description of these experiments follows a natural mathematical description in terms of matrices and complex numbers. The first part of the book examines how experimental facts force us to let go of some deeply held preconceptions and develops this idea into a description of states, probabilities, observables, and time evolution. The quantum mechanical principles are illustrated using applications such as gravitational wave detection, magnetic resonance imaging, atomic clocks, scanning tunneling microscopy, and many more. The first part concludes with an overview of the complete quantum theory. The second part of the book covers more advanced topics, including the concept of entanglement, the process of decoherence or how quantum systems become classical, quantum computing and quantum communication, and quantum particles moving in space. Here, the book makes contact with more traditional approaches to quantum physics. The remaining chapters delve deeply into the idea of uncertainty relations and explore what the quantum theory says about the nature of reality. The book is an ideal accessible introduction to quantum physics, tested in the classroom, with modern examples and plenty of end-of-chapter exercises. 410 0$aUndergraduate lecture notes in physics. 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aQuantum theory 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 676 $a530.15 700 $aKok$b Pieter$f1972-$0833846 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910686787303321 996 $aFirst Introduction to Quantum Physics$91864287 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01459nam0 22003011i 450 001 UON00093869 005 20231205102523.780 010 $a96-16-16908-4 100 $a20020107d1997 |0itac50 ba 101 $amul 102 $aYU 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aInternationales Kolloquium uber probleme des provinzialromischen Kunstschaffens (Celje 8-12 mai 1995)$dAkti IV.
