The second edition deals with all essential aspects of
non-relativistic quantum physics up to the quantisation of fields.
In contrast to common textbooks of quantum mechanics, modern
experiments are described both for the purpose of foundation of the
theory and in relation to recent applications. Links are made to
important research fields and applications such as elementary
particle physics, solid state physics and nuclear magnetic
resonance in medicine, biology and material science. Special
emphasis is paid to quantum physics in nanoelectronics such as
resonant tunnelling, Coulomb blockade and the realisation of
quantum bits. This second edition also considers quantum transport
through quantum point contacts and its application as charge
detectors in nanoelectronic circuits. Also the realization and the
study of electronic properties of an artificial quantum dot
molecule are presented. Because of its recent interest a brief
discussion of Bose-Einstein condensation has been included, as well
as the recently detected Higgs particle. Another essential new
addition to the present book concerns a detailed discussion of the
particle picture in quantum field theory. Counterintuitive aspects
of single particle quantum physics such as particle-wave duality
and the Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) paradox appear more
acceptable to our understanding if discussed on the background of
quantum field theory. The non-locality of quantum fields explains
non-local behaviour of particles in classical Schroedinger quantum
mechanics. Finally, new problems have been added. The book is
suitable as an introduction into quantum physics, not only for
physicists but also for chemists, biologists, engineers, computer
scientists and even for philosophers as far as they are interested
in natural philosophy and epistemology.
