The book contains all the necessary material for quantum physics and relativity in the first two years of a typical physics degree course. The choice of topics complies fully with the Institute of Physics guidelines, but the coverage also includes more interesting and up-to-date applications, such as Bose condensation and quantum teleportation.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

This book is based on the lecture courses taught by Dunningham and Vedral at the University of Leeds. The book contains all the necessary material for quantum physics and relativity in the first two years of a typical physics degree course. The choice of topics complies fully with the Institute of Physics guidelines, but the coverage also includes more interesting and up-to-date applications, such as Bose condensation and global positioning system (GPS).

Review:

This book is a rather attractive introduction to quantum physics, especially for anyone wishing to emphasize conceptual issues and the quantum information theoretic point of view from the very beginning. -- Contemporary Physics "Contemporary Physics"
