Modern Physics

Více o knize

The textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to statistical mechanics, special relativity, and quantum physics, structured around the "Quantum Physics" course at the University of Padua. It begins with classical statistical mechanics, progresses through the principles of relativity, and examines light quantization and Bohr's energy levels. The exploration of the Schrödinger equation leads to applications of quantum mechanics, including tunneling and perturbation theory. Later chapters address quantum atomic physics, identical particles, quantum information, and the path integral approach, offering a thorough foundation in modern physics concepts.
