QUANTUM PHYSICS IN THE NANOWORLD - HANS LÜTH GE...

The second edition deals with all essential aspects of non-relativistic quantum physics up to
the quantisation of fields. In contrast to common textbooks of quantum mechanics  modern
experiments are described both for the purpose of foundation of the theory and in relation to
recent applications. Links are made to important research fields and applications such as
elementary particle physics  solid state physics and nuclear magnetic resonance in medicine 
biology and material science. Special emphasis is paid to quantum physics in nanoelectronics
such as resonant tunnelling  Coulomb blockade and the realisation of quantum bits.This second
edition also considers quantum transport through quantum point contacts and its application as
charge detectors in nanoelectronic circuits. Also the realization and the study of electronic
properties of an artificial quantum dot molecule are presented. Because of its recent interest
a brief discussion of Bose-Einstein condensation has been included  as well as the recently
detected Higgs particle. Another essential new addition to the present book concerns a detailed
discussion of the particle picture in quantum field theory. Counterintuitive aspects of single
particle quantum physics such as particle-wave duality and the Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR)
paradox appear more acceptable to our understanding if discussed on the background of quantum
field theory. The non-locality of quantum fields explains non-local behaviour of particles in
classical Schrödinger quantum mechanics. Finally  new problems have been added.The book is
suitable as an introduction into quantum physics  not only for physicists but also for chemists
biologists  engineers  computer scientists and even for philosophers as far as they are
interested in natural philosophy and epistemology.
