Overview

The Physics of Atoms and Quanta is a thorough introduction to experiments and theory in this field. Every classical and modern aspect is covered and discussed in detail. As this text ends with the fundamentals of classical bonding, it leads into the second and more advanced book by the same authors entitled Molecular Physics and Elements of Quantum Chemistry . This 6th edition includes new developments, such as new experiments on quantum entanglement, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradoxon, Bell's inequality, Schrodinger's cat, and decoherence; the quantum computer, quantum information, Bose-Einstein-Condensation, and the atom laser are also discussed. Here, the student will find 170 problems and their solutions, which make this book a real study text.

Reviews

From the reviews: This book gives a coherent presentation of both the experimental and the theoretical aspects of these subjects. Since 1984, when it was first published, it is now in its 6th edition which is a clear indication that this volume has gained already a large hearing in the scientific world. A characteristic feature of this book is that the authors take the opportunity of each new edition to include the latest development in this very active field. In the 6th edition, in particular, they have added an entire new chapter dealing with entangled wave-functions, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, Bells inequalities, the paradox of Schrodinger's cat the concept of decohrence, Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum computers and quantum information theory. ...I recommend this book unreservedly for its high pedagogical value, more specially to the students starting their Master degree (Lere licence). <br> F.Bion, Physicalia, 2001, 36, 2<br> . This volume gives a coherent presentation of both the experimental and the theoretical aspects of atomic and quantum physics and can serve as an excellent advanced book for students of physics and also for students of neighboring disciplines such as chemistry and electrical engineering.
