This advanced textbook covers many fundamental, traditional and new branches of electrodynamics, as well as the related fields of special relativity, quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. Th …

This book is a comprehensive account of five extended modules covering the key branches of twentieth-century theoretical physics, taught by the author over a period of three decades to students on ba …

Following on from the successful first (1984) and revised (1993) editions, this extended and revised text is designed as a short and simple introduction to quantum field theory for final year physics …

Neben einer Einführung in die Quanteninformationstheorie enthält dieser Band Raritäten wie Diskussionen der Robertson-Schrödinger-Ungleichung, der Unbestimmtheit von Winkeln und Drehmomenten, wechsel …

This monograph offers a concise overview of the theoretical description of various collective phenomena in condensed matter physics. These effects include the basic electronic structure in solid stat …

The revealing of the phenomenon of superhydrophobicity (the ‘lotus-effect’) has stimulated an interest in wetting of real (rough and chemically heterogeneous) surfaces. In spite of the fact that wett …

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics is an introduction to the power and elegance of quantum mechanics. Assuming little in the way of prior knowledge, quantum concepts are carefully and precisely presen …

‘Problem Solving in Theoretical Physics’ helps students mastering their theoretical physics courses by posing advanced problems and providing their solutions – along with discussions of their physica …

The International System of Units (SI) is the world’s most widely used system of measurement, used every day in commerce and science, and is the modern form of the metric system. It currently compris …

Just as the circle number π or the Euler constant e determines mathematics, fundamental constants of nature define the scales of the natural sciences. This book presents a new perspective by means of …
