Based on a two-semester course held at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, this book provides an adequate resource for the lecturer and the student. The contents are primarily aimed at graduate students who wish to learn about the fundamental concepts behind constructing a Relativistic Quantum Theory of particles and fields. So it provides a comprehensive foundation for the extension to Quantum Chromodynamics and Weak Interactions, that are not included in this book. Contents: The Principles of Quantum Physics Lorentz Group and Hilbert Space Search for a Relativistic Wave Equation The Dirac Equation The Free Maxwell Field Quantum Mechanics of Dirac Particles Second Quantization Canonical Quantization Global Symmetries and Conservation Laws The Scattering Matrix Perturbation Theory Parametric Representation of a General Diagram Functional Methods Dyson–Schwinger Equation Regularization of Feynman Diagrams Renormalization Broken Scale Invariance and Callan–Symanzik Equation Renormalization Group Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Effective Potentials

Quantum computers are the proposed centerpieces of a revolutionary, 21st century quantum information technology. Ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in modern quantum physics, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: From Photons to Quantum Computers takes the reader into the fascinating world of quantum mechanics and continues on an in-depth study of quantum information and quantum computing, including an entire chapter on the future of quantum technology. This accessible text with modern applications focuses on what is “quantum” about quantum mechanics; topics discussed include the EPR paradox, entanglement, teleportation, Bell’s Theorem, quantum computing, and code-breaking with quantum computers.

Modern Foundations of Quantum Optics

This textbook offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the basic ideas in modern quantum optics, beginning with a review of the whole of optics, and culminating in the quantum description of light. The book emphasizes the phenomenon of interference as the key to understanding the behavior of light, and discusses distinctions between the classical and quantum nature of light. Laser operation is reviewed at great length and many applications are covered, such as laser cooling, Bose condensation and the basics of quantum information and teleportation. Quantum mechanics is introduced in detail using the Dirac notation, which is explained from first principles. In addition, a number of non-standard topics are covered such as the impossibility of a light-based Maxwell's demon, the derivation of the Second Law of thermodynamics from the first-order time-dependent quantum perturbation theory, and the concept of Berry's phase. The book emphasizes the physical basics much more than the formal mathematical side, and is ideal for a first, yet in-depth, introduction to the subject. Five sets of problems with solutions are included to further aid understanding of the subject.
