This reference work on quantum physics provides a fresh and modern approach to the field. Written by leading experts and teachers, the text discusses modern applications such as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment, neutrino oscillations, Bose-Einstein condensation, and the evaporation of a black hole. Around 90 exercises with solutions are included as well as hints for further reading at the end of each chapter, making it ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students at the MS and PhD level. The CD-ROM contains a number of Java-based simulations which help the user to understand the difficult topics.
