This completely revised second edition of our hugely popular book
invites the reader to explore ten of the most important areas of
modern physics: Symmetry, Lasers, Superconductivity, Bose-Einstein
Condensation, Nanoscience, Quantum Computation, Chaos and Fractals,
Stellar Evolution, Particles, and Cosmology.The new edition adds
three new chapters in about a third of the book, covering the
latest, hottest topics in contemporary physics: Bose-Einstein
Condensate: Where Many Become One and How to Get There: Bose
Statistics: Counting of the Indistinguishables; Bose-Einstein
Condensation (BEC): The Over-Population Crisis; Cooling and
Trapping of Atoms: Towards BEC; Doppler Limit and its Break Down;
Trapping of Cold Atoms: Magnetic and Magneto-Optic Trap;
Evaporative Cooling; BEC Finally: But How do We Know?; BEC: What
Good is it? Exploring Nanostructures: Towards the Bottom; The Rise
of Nanoscience; Confined Systems; Quantum Devices; The Genius of
Carbon; Spintronics; Nanos at Large. Quantum Computation and
Information: Classical Computer; Quantum Computer; Quantum Gates;
Deutsch's Algorithm; Finding the Period of a Function; Shor's
Factorization Algorithm; Grover's Search Algorithm; Hardware and
Error Correction; Cryptography; Quantum Teleportation.The authors
give a fascinating, up-to-date account of the exciting advances in
these fast-moving fields. Their emphasis is as much on describing
natural phenomena as on attempting to explain them in terms of
basic principles, replacing equations with physical insight.
General readers and university undergraduates alike will find this
unique book a useful guide to the worlds of modern physics, while
the mature scientist will get an insightful survey of neighboring
fields of research. For the teacher who takes a thematic approach
to teaching physics, this book will be a complete source of current
topics at the frontiers of research; and for the student, a
valuable tool of study, made even more useful by numerous pertinent
problems (with complete solutions) and references found at the end
of each chapter.
