Description
Based on a California Institute of Technology course, this outstanding introduction to formal quantum mechanics is geared toward advanced undergraduates in applied physics. The text addresses not only the basic formalism and related phenomena but also takes students a step further to a consideration of generic and important applications. The treatment's exploration of a wide range of topics culminates in two eminently practical subjects, the semiconductor...

Theory of Quantum Physics provides a beginner's guide to this difficult and rarely understood area.
Quantum Physics. If you're not a scientist, then these two words fill you full of worry and anxiety. This is because Quantum Physics is not easily understood and is a mystery to most people. Quantum physics, along with the theory of relativity, is one of the two major revolutionary ideas that shook the world of physics to the core in the early 20th...

We may have lived knowing that the world around us operates in a way as if we observe them to be. This knowledge of how the universe operates, based primarily of our observations, has enabled us to predict actions and motions and allowed us to build machines and equipments that have made our lives easier and more enjoyable. The field that allowed us to do that is classical physics. The world, however, is advancing and our knowledge of how things are...

A brilliantly diverting and mind-expanding guide to quantum and particle physics.
At the start of the twentieth century, our knowledge of science appeared complete and it seemed that the laws of nature were almost all discovered, but then we woke a sleeping giant-we discovered quantum mechanics. In the quantum realm, objects can be in two places at once. It's a place where time travel is not only possible, but necessary. It's a place where cause...

Charles R.Storey's theory, which he has shared with Stephen Hawking and other prominent physicists is explained here in detail. Lumeniferous Ether Theory and other theories are examined in depth and included in a unified field theory which interconnects electricity, magnetism and gravity.
Our current method of space travel will require an enormous amount of time and effort to explore and colonize celestial bodies relatively close to earth. A unified...

The author of this concise, brilliant series of lectures on mathematical methods in quantum mechanics was one of the shining intellects in the field, winning a Nobel prize in 1933 for his pioneering work in the quantum mechanics of the atom. Beyond that, he developed the transformation theory of quantum mechanics (which made it possible to calculate the statistical distribution of certain variables), was one of the major authors of the quantum theory...

Get the Summary of Brian Greene's The Hidden Reality in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "The Hidden Reality" by Brian Greene explores the concept of parallel universes and the scientific theories that support their existence. The book delves into the evolution of the definition of "universe," which has expanded from everything in existence to the parts we can observe, and now to the idea of multiverses. Greene examines...

For centuries, physics has been the cornerstone of our understanding of the natural world. From classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, physics has given us the tools to describe and predict the behavior of everything around us. But as our knowledge of the universe grows, we are forced to confront the limits of our current understanding.In "Beyond the Quantum World," we take a journey through cutting-edge research that is expanding the boundaries...
