Description for An Introduction to Advanced Quantum Physics
Paperback. This book is intended for undergraduates who take a third and fourth quarter of quantum physics, and thus limits itself to those topics that are absolutely necessary for understanding elementary particle physics and condensed matter. Num Pages: 224 pages, figures. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 229 x 153 x 13. Weight in Grams: 336.
An Introduction to Advanced Quantum Physics presents important concepts from classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, statistical physics, and quantum physics brought together to discuss the interaction of radiation and matter, selection rules, symmetries and conservation laws, scattering, relativistic quantum mechanics, apparent paradoxes, elementary quantum field theory, electromagnetic and weak interactions, and much more.

This book consists of two parts:
Part 1 comprises the material suitable for a second course in quantum physics and covers:
- Electromagnetic Radiation and Matter
- Scattering
- Symmetries and Conservation Laws
- Relativistic Quantum Physics
- Special Topics
Part 2 presents elementary quantum field theory and discusses:
- Second Quantization of Spin 1/2 and ... Read more
- Covariant Perturbation Theory and Applications
- Quantum Electrodynamics
Each chapter concludes with problems to challenge the students’ understanding of the material.
This text is intended for graduate and ambitious undergraduate students in physics, material sciences, and related disciplines.

About Hans Paar
Professor Hans Paar has been on the faculty of the University of California San Diego since 1986. He has taught Quantum Physics in all four quarters it is offered at the undergraduate level and has developed and taught the third and fourth quarter of this course (which corresponds to the content of the book) almost each of those 22 years. ...

Reviews for An Introduction to Advanced Quantum Physics
"The material is intended for undergraduates who are planning to take up the study of elementary particle physics or condensed matter. The problem section given at the end of each chapter is a useful addition for a better understanding of the subject." (Zentralblatt MATH, 2011)
