Quantum Mechanics II (eBook, PDF)

Advanced Topics

Beschreibung

Quantum Mechanics II: Advanced Topics offers a comprehensive exploration of the state-of-the-art in various advanced topics of current research interest. A follow-up to the authors' introductory book Quantum Mechanics I: The Fundamentals, this book expounds basic principles, theoretical treatment, case studies, worked-out examples and applications of advanced topics including quantum technologies.

A thoroughly revised and updated this unique volume presents an in-depth and up-to-date progress on the growing topics including latest achievements on quantum technology. In the second edition six new chapters are included and the other ten chapters are extensively revised.

Features

• Covers classical and quantum field theories, path integral formalism and supersymmetric quantum mechanics.

• Highlights coherent and squeezed states, Berry's phase, Aharonov-Bohm effect and Wigner function.

• Explores salient features of quantum entanglement and quantum cryptography.
• Presents basic concepts of quantum computers and the features of no-cloning theorem and quantum cloning machines.

• Describes the theory and techniques of quantum tomography, quantum simulation and quantum error correction.

• Introduces other novel topics including quantum versions of theory of gravity, cosmology, Zeno effect, teleportation, games, chaos and steering.

• Outlines the quantum technologies of ghost imaging, detection of weak amplitudes and displacements, lithography, metrology, teleportation of optical images, sensors, batteries and internet.

• Contains several worked-out problems and exercises in each chapter.

Quantum Mechanics II: Advanced Topics addresses various currently emerging exciting topics of quantum mechanics. It emphasizes the fundamentals behind the latest cutting-edge developments to help explain the motivation for deeper exploration. The book is a valuable resource for graduate students in physics and engineering wishing to pursue research in quantum mechanics.

Autor

S. Rajasekar received his B.Sc.and M.Sc. in Physics both from St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirapalli. He was awarded his Ph.D. degree from Bharathidasan University in 1992 under the supervision of Prof. M. Lakshmanan. In 1993, he joined as a Lecturer at the Department of Physics, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli. In 2003, the book Nonlinear Dynamics: Integrability, Chaos and Patterns written by Prof. M. Lakshmanan and the author was published by Springer. In 2005, he joined as a Professor at the School of Physics, Bharathidasan University. In 2016 Springer published Nonlinear Resonances written by Prof. Miguel A.F. Sanjuan and the author. In 2021 Professors U.E. Vincent, P.V.E. McClintock, I.A. Khovanov and the author compiled and edited two issues of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A on the theme Vibrational and Stochastic Resonances in Driven Nonlinear Systems. He has also edited Recent Trends in Chaotic, Nonlinear and Complex Dynamics with Professors Jan Awrejecewicz and Minvydas Ragulskis, published by World Scienti¿c in 2022. His recent research focuses on nonlinear dynamics with a special emphasize on nonlinear resonances. He has authored or co-authored more than 120 research papers in nonlinear dynamics.

R. Velusamy received his B.Sc. degree in Physics from the Ayya Nadar Janaki Am-mal College, Sivakasi in 1972 and M.Sc. in Physics from the P.S.G. Arts and Science College, Coimbatore in 1974. He worked as a demonstrator in the Department of Physics in P.S.G. Arts and Science College during 1974-77. He received an M.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai in the year 1981. In the same year, he joined in the Ayya Nadar Janaki Ammal College as an Assistant Professor in Physics. He was awarded a M.Phil. degree in Physics in the year 1988. He retired in the year 2010. His research topics are quantum con¿ned systems and wave packet dynamics.
