Beschreibung:
"The second edition is unique as an undergraduate textbook as it combines quantum physics and relativity at an introductory level. It expounds the foundations of these two subjects in detail, but also illustrates how they can be combined. It discusses recent applications, but also exposes undergraduates to cutting-edge research topics, such as laser cooling, Bose condensation, tunneling microscopes, lasers, Bell's inequalities, and quantum teleportation. This book is intended for students taking undergraduate-level courses in quantum physics and relativity"--
