About this ebook

In addition to traditional topics, this book includes: selective measurements, Wigner's Theorem of symmetry transformations, generators of quantum transformations, supersymmetry, details on the spectra of Hamiltonians and stability of quantum systems, Bose-Fermi oscillators, coherent states, hyperfine structure of the H-atom for any angular momentum, the non-relativistic Lamb shift, anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, Ramsey oscillatory fields methods, measurement, interference and the role of the environment, the AB effect, geometric phases, including non-adiabatic and non-cyclic, Schrödinger's cat and quantum decoherence, quantum teleportation and cryptography, quantum dynamics of the Stern-Gerlach effect, Green functions, path integrals, including constrained dynamics, quantum dynamical principle and variations, systematics of multi-electron atoms, stability of matter, collapse of "bosonic matter" and the role of spin, intricacies of scattering, quantum description of relativistic particles for any spin and mass, spinors, helicity, the Spin and Statistics Theorem. It also contains numerous problems some of which are challenging enough for research.

About the author

Professor Dr. Edouard B. Manoukian did his graduate studies at McGill and at the University of Toronto in Canada, receiving his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in 1968 and 1971, respectively. He carried out research at the Theoretical Physics Institute of the University of Alberta, the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, and the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques Appliquées of the University of Montreal. In 1978 he joined the staff of the Department of National Defence of the Royal Military College of Canada and was appointed as a full professor in 1985. Presently E.B. Manoukian is a professor in the School of Physics of the Suranaree University of Technology. He has authored several books including the one entitled "Renormalization" (ISBN: 0124694500, New York: Academic Press, 1983) which may be of interest to readers of the present book, and he has published over 160 research papers on most aspects of theoretical physics.
