By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Oxford, United Kingdom : Oxford University Press, 2017Edition: 1st EdDescription: xiii, 208 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 23 cmISBN:
  • 9780198854364
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 530.12 MUL
Contents:
Waves -- Quantum particles and waves -- Harmonic oscillators -- Superposition -- Entanglement -- The Mach-Zehnder interferometer -- Bell's theorem and the Mermin machine -- What is a wave function? -- Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity -- The quantum zeno effect -- Bosons and fermions -- The quantum eraser -- Virtual particles and the four forces -- Teleportation of a quantum state -- Quantum computing -- Weird measurements -- Epilogue -- Appendix : classical particle dynamics.
Summary: Quantum mechanics allows accurate predictions of nature, yet it also uncovers surprises like teleportation and multiple universes. It involves complicated mathematics, yet most general reader texts avoid mathematics. This book uses on high-school level mathematics to provide a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics.
