This outstanding new volume brings together state of the art
developments in quantum physics. The forefront of contemporary
advances in physics lies in the submicroscopic regime, whether it
be in atomic, nuclear, condensed-matter, plasma, or particle
physics, or in quantum optics, or even in the study of stellar
structure. All are based upon quantum theory (i.e., quantum
mechanics and quantum field theory) and relativity, which together
form the theoretical foundations of modern physics. a range of
possible values are in quantum theory constrained to have
discontinuous, or discrete, values. The intrinsically deterministic
character of classical physics is replaced in quantum theory by
intrinsic uncertainty. According to quantum theory, electromagnetic
radiation does not always consist of continuous waves; instead it
must be viewed under some circumstances as a collection of
particle-like photons, the energy and momentum of each being
directly proportional to its frequency (or inversely proportional
to its wavelength, the photons still possessing some wavelike
characteristics). Classical Concepts (Millard Baublitz, JR, Boston
