Synopsis

This book is a revised and updated version of Introductory Quantum Physics and Relativity. Based on lectures given as part of the undergraduate degree programme at the University of Leeds, it has been extended in line with recent developments in the field. The book contains all the material required for quantum physics and relativity in the first three years of a traditional physics degree, in addition to more interesting and up-to-date extensions and applications which include quantum field theory, entanglement, and quantum information science. The second edition is unique as an undergraduate textbook as it combines quantum physics and relativity at an introductory level. It expounds the foundations of these two subjects in detail, but also illustrates how they can be combined. It discusses recent applications, but also exposes undergraduates to cutting-edge research topics, such as laser cooling, Bose–Einstein condensation, tunneling microscopes, lasers, nonlocality, and quantum teleportation.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

This book is a revised, extended, and updated version of our successful textbook Introductory Quantum Physics and Relativity. It is based on lectures that were originally given as part of the undergraduate degree programme at the University of Leeds, but has been extended and modified to bring it up to date with recent developments. The book contains all the material required for quantum physics and relativity in the first two years of a typical physics degree, but also contains more interesting and up-to-date extensions and applications such as quantum field theory, entanglement, and quantum information science.

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).
