Quantum Theory

Stephen Hawking’s first full length book since the worldwide bestseller A Brief History of Time, lavishly illustrated in full colour throughout. Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time was a publishing phenomenon. Translated into thirty languages, it has sold over nine million copies worldwide... More

Of all modern scientific theories, quantum theory has perhaps done more than any other to change the way we think about basic structure of the universe. This clear and accessible introduction covers quantum physics in theory and in practice, and explains why it has become known not just as a theory,... More

Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it provides the fundamental underpining of all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no computers, no science or molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering.IN SEARCH OF ... More

This book is a report by the Natural Research Council Board, USA, on Physics and Astronomy, to assess the field of Elementary-Particle Physics (EPP). It traces the developments in EPP, discusses the status of the field today, both in the realm of theory and experiment, explaining also how we have re... More

This book is aimed at graduate students in physics who are studying group theory and its application to physics. It contains a short explanation of the fundamental knowledge and method, and the fundamental exercises for the method, as well as some important conclusions in group theory. The book has ... More

A brilliant science populariser and award-winning writer John Gribbin tells the whole story of the micro-world, and the people who made the discoveries. An essential complement to Gribbin’s Companion to the Cosmos, Q is for Quantum is about the inner structure of everything — a quest which, like... More

This book covers the development of quantum electrodynamics from its beginning to the present. It is a book full of extraordinary riches, replete with abundantly detailed accounts of the scientific reasoning of the principal contributors, with lengthy quotations from original sources, and with a fra...

Roland Omnes takes us from the academies of ancient Greece to the laboratories of modern science as he seeks to rebuild the foundations of the philosophy of knowledge. One of the world’s leading quantum physicists, Omnes reviews the history and recent development of mathematics, logic, and the phy... More

Quantum Mechanics (Symmetries) deals with a particularly appealing and successful concept in advanced quantum mechanics. After a brief introduction to symmetries in classical mechanics, the text turns to their relevance in quantum mechanics, the consequences of rotation symmetry, and the general the... More

One of the most profound revolutions brought about by quantum mechanics is that it does away with the distinction between waves and particles: atoms, in particular, can exhibit all the properties that we associate with wave phenomena, such as diffraction and interference; it has recently even become... More

This volume describes how the battle of infinities was fought and, more importantly, about a new approach to quantum mechanics. It deals with the birth of quantum electrodynamics, a theory of incredible and unmatched precision and the most perfect physical theory known to man.... More

The discovery of quantum mechanics is often hailed as the greatest revolution in human thought. This volume, the first in a series of three, seeks to capture the drama of this supreme achievement.... More

This is a comprehensive text on electrodynamics with detailed explanations and calculations. One hundred worked examples have been incorporated, making this book also suitable for self-instruction. Apart from all traditional topics of the Maxwell's theory, this book includes the special theory of re... More
