Quantum Theory (Bohr Niels)(Pevná vazba)

Quantum Theory contains the seminal works of quantum theory from the early years of the 20th Century, representing breakthroughs in science that radically altered the landscape of modern knowledge: Quantum Theory of Line-Spectra by Niels Bohr and The Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory by

A Modern Introduction to Quantum Field Theory (Maggiore Michele)(Paperback)

The importance and the beauty of modern quantum field theory resides in the power and variety of its methods and ideas, which find application in domains as different as particle physics, cosmology, condensed matter, statistical mechanics and critical phenomena. This book introduces the reader to

Materials Modelling Using Density Functional Theory: Properties and Predictions (Giustino Feliciano)(Paperback)

This book is an introduction to the quantum theory of materials and first-principles computational materials modelling. It explains how to use density functional theory as a practical tool for calculating the properties of materials without using any empirical parameters. The structural,

Copenhagen (Frayn Michael)(Paperback)

In 1941 the German physicist Werner Heisenberg made a strange trip to Copenhagen to see his Danish counterpart, Niels Bohr. They were old friends and close colleagues, and they had revolutionised atomic physics in the 1920s with their work together on quantum mechanics and the uncertainty

General Theory of Relativity (Dirac P. A. M.)(Paperback)

Einstein's general theory of relativity requires a curved space for the description of the physical world. If one wishes to go beyond superficial discussions of the physical relations involved, one needs to set up precise equations for handling curved space. The well-established mathematical

Quantum Mechanics (Kramers H. A.)(Paperback)

Rates with Dirac's book as one of the best expositions of quantum theory available in the English language. -- American ScientistA fine translation of a remarkable book, which is recommended to every serious student of theoretical physics. -- F. J. Belinfante, ScienceFull and leisurely development

Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Adlam Emily)(Paperback)

More than 100 years after quantum mechanics was introduced, the interpretation of the theory remains controversial. This Element introduces some of the most puzzling questions at the foundations of quantum mechanics and surveys the most prominent ways in which physicists and philosophers of physics

Aircraft Flight - A description of the physical principles of aircraft flight (Philpott D.R.)(Paperback / softback)

The Emergent Multiverse: Quantum Theory According to the Everett Interpretation (Wallace David)(Paperback)

The Emergent Multiverse presents a striking new account of the many worlds approach to quantum theory. The point of science, it is generally accepted, is to tell us how the world works and what it is like. But quantum theory seems to fail to do this: taken literally as a theory of the world, it

Quantum Physics: Illusion or Reality? (Rae Alastair)(Paperback)

Quantum physics is believed to be the fundamental theory underlying our understanding of the physical universe. However, it is based on concepts and principles that have always been difficult to understand and controversial in their interpretation. This book aims to explain these issues using a

The Quantum Theory of Light (Loudon Rodney)(Paperback)

This Third Edition, like its two predecessors, provides a detailed account of the basic theory needed to understand the properties of light and its interactions with atoms, in particular the many nonclassical effects that have now been observed in quantum-optical experiments. The earlier chapters

Lectures on Quantum Field Theory (Second Edition) (Das Ashok)(Paperback)

This book comprises the lectures of a two-semester course on quantum field theory, presented in a quite informal and personal manner. The course starts with relativistic one-particle systems, and develops the basics of quantum field theory with an analysis on the representations of the Poincar

Introducing Quantum Theory: A Graphic Guide (McEvoy J. P.)(Paperback)

Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics. This book takes us on a step-by-step tour with the key figures, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and
