This book presents the basic elements of theoretical physics in a
highly accessible, captivating way for university students in the
third year of a degree in physics. It covers analytical mechanics,
thermodynamics and statistical physics, special and general
relativity and non-relativistic quantum theory, fully developing
the necessary mathematical methods beyond standard calculus. The
central theme is scientific curiosity and the main focus is on the
experimental meaning of all quantities and equations. Several
recent verifications of General Relativity are presented, with
emphasis on the physical effects - why they were predicted to exist
and what signals they were seen to produce. Similarly, the basic
reasons why superconductors have zero resistance and are perfect
diamagnets are pinpointed. Quantum Eraser Experiments and Delayed
Choice Experiments are described. Many statements of Quantum Theory
are a challenge to common sense and some crucial predictions have
often been considered hard to believe and have been tested
experimentally. The book examines the EPR paradox, Bell states and
teleportation. To show the beauty and richness of the subject,
various topics from different areas of Physics are covered. These
include: discrete quantum models and lattices (periodic and not),
Casimir effect, Anyons, Fano Resonances, the Hanbury Brown and
Twiss effect, the Aharonov-Bohm effect, the Meitner-Auger effect,
Squeezed Light, the Rabi model, neutrino oscillations, aspects of
Quantum Transport, Quantum Pumping, and Berry phases, black holes
and cosmological problems.
