Bernard Diu

Ihr zwei-bändiges Standardlehrbuch haben Cohen-Tannoudji und seine Co-Autoren nun ergänzt mit Band 3 zu fortgeschrittenen Themen der Quantenmechanik, in dem sie die bewährte Kapitelstruktur von Theorie und Anwendungsbeispielen mit nachfolgendem Vertiefungsteil beibehalten. Neben unkorrelierten und korrelierten identischen Teilchen sowie der Quantentheorie des elektromagnetischen Feldes werden Absorption, Emission und Streuung von Photonen durch Atome sowie Quantenverschränkung ausführlich und zugleich didaktisch geschickt erläutert.

This new, third volume of Cohen-Tannoudji's groundbreaking textbook covers advanced topics of quantum mechanics such as uncorrelated and correlated identical particles, the quantum theory of the electromagnetic field, absorption, emission and scattering of photons by atoms, and quantum entanglement. Written in a didactically unrivalled manner, the textbook explains the fundamental concepts in seven chapters which are elaborated in accompanying complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. * Completing the success story: the third and final volume of the quantum mechanics textbook written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë * As easily comprehensible as possible: all steps of the physical background and its mathematical representation are spelled out explicitly * Comprehensive: in addition to the fundamentals themselves, the books comes with a wealth of elaborately explained examples and applications Claude Cohen-Tannoudji was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris where he also studied and received his PhD in 1962. In 1973 he became Professor of atomic and molecular physics at the Collège des France. His main research interests were optical pumping, quantum optics and atom-photon interactions. In 1997, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, together with Steven Chu and William D. Phillips, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms. Bernard Diu was Professor at the Denis Diderot University (Paris VII). He was engaged in research at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and High Energy where his focus was on strong interactions physics and statistical mechanics. Franck Laloë was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. His first assignment was with the University of Paris VI before he was appointed to the CNRS, the French National Research Center. His research was focused on optical pumping, statistical mechanics of quantum gases, musical acoustics and the foundations of quantum mechanics.

This new edition of the unrivalled textbook introduces concepts such as the quantum theory of scattering by a potential, special and general cases of adding angular momenta, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, and systems of identical particles. The entire book has been revised to take into account new developments in quantum mechanics curricula. The textbook retains its typical style also in the new edition: it explains the fundamental concepts in chapters which are elaborated in accompanying complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. * The quantum mechanics classic in a new edition: written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë * As easily comprehensible as possible: all steps of the physical background and its mathematical representation are spelled out explicitly * Comprehensive: in addition to the fundamentals themselves, the book contains more than 170 worked examples plus exercises Claude Cohen-Tannoudji was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris where he also studied and received his PhD in 1962.

This new edition of the unrivalled textbook introduces the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics such as waves, particles and probability before explaining the postulates of quantum mechanics in detail. In the proven didactic manner, the textbook then covers the classical scope of introductory quantum mechanics, namely simple two-level systems, the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the quantized angular momentum and particles in a central potential. The entire book has been revised to take into account new developments in quantum mechanics curricula. The textbook retains its typical style also in the new edition: it explains the fundamental concepts in chapters which are elaborated in accompanying complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. * The quantum mechanics classic in a new edition: written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë * As easily comprehensible as possible: all steps of the physical background and its mathematical representation are spelled out explicitly * Comprehensive: in addition to the fundamentals themselves, the book contains more than 350 worked examples plus exercises Claude Cohen-Tannoudji was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris where he also studied and received his PhD in 1962.

We can rest assured: atoms really do exist. However, certain picky purists could ask questions about the signification of this expression: what should we understand when we speak about the "real existence" of something whose size in measured in cento-millions of a centimeter and whose behaviour is governed by laws (that of quantum mechanics) so fundamentally distinct from those we have been taught for centuries in "classical" physics - ever since the times of Galileo and Newton ? What is more, the reality of atoms and molecules gave rise, at the turn of the century (around 1900), to a controversy sometimes quite ferocious, concerning the very phenomenons and concepts treated in this book. And so, Paul Pascal, who was an exceptional chemist, used to tell the story of how, in 1905, a young student and candidate for the General Chemisty certificate at the Sorbonne, he was assigned to a professor who refused the existence of atoms and forbade others to even consider the possibility. Worse still, the Viennese Ludwig Bolztmann, genius promoter of mechanical statistics, was pushed to suicide in 1906 by the sarcasms of his detractors. Several months later in the same year, a Frenchman, Jean Perrin, proved the irrefutable existence of atoms and the validity of mechanical statistics. It would only be fair to recognize that the anti-atomnists, in order to be so virulent and forceful in their claims, must have had a theory of physics extremely coherent and efficient - thermodynamics, of which Bernard Diu also speaks of in great length - and thus apparently had no need for atoms. After having first of all clarified the theory of physics, what is physics and what isn't, Bernard Diu explains in a very simple way, the implications and the eventual oppositions, between thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Bernard Diu, a graduate of the Ecole Normale Sup rieur, is a professor at the University of Paris VII.
