Quantum mechanics transcends and supplants classical mechanics
at the atomic and subatomic levels. It provides the underlying
framework for many subfields of physics, chemistry and materials
science, including condensed matter physics, atomic physics,
molecular physics, quantum chemistry, particle physics, and nuclear
physics. It is the only way we can understand the structure of
materials, from the semiconductors in our computers to the metal in
our automobiles. It is also the scaffolding supporting much of
nanoscience and nanotechnology. The purpose of this book is to
present the fundamentals of quantum theory within a modern
perspective, with emphasis on applications to nanoscience and
nanotechnology, and information-technology. As the frontiers of
science have advanced, the sort of curriculum adequate for students
in the sciences and engineering twenty years ago is no longer
satisfactory today. Hence, the emphasis on new topics that are not
included in older reference texts, such as quantum information
theory, decoherence and dissipation, and on applications to
nanotechnology, including quantum dots, wires and wells.
Key Features
This book provides a novel approach to Quantum Mechanics whilst
also giving readers the requisite background and training for the
scientists and engineers of the 21st Century who need to come to
grips with quantum phenomena.
The fundamentals of quantum theory are provided within a modern
perspective, with emphasis on applications to nanoscience and
nanotechnology, and information-technology.
Benefits
Older books on quantum mechanics do not contain the amalgam of
ideas, concepts and tools necessary to prepare engineers and
scientists to deal with the new facets of quantum mechanics and
their application to quantum information science and
nanotechnology.
As the frontiers of science have advanced, the sort of
curriculum adequate for students in the sciences and engineering
twenty years ago is no longer satisfactory today.
There are many excellent quantum mechanics books available, but
none have the emphasis on nanotechnology and quantum information
science thatthis book has. "
