Elementary Particles and the Laws of Physics
by Richard P Feynman
Developing a theory that seamlessly combines relativity and quantum mechanics, the most important conceptual breakthroughs in twentieth century physics, has proved to be a difficult and ongoing challenge. Available in paperback for the first time, this book details how two distinguished physicists and Nobel laureates have explored this theme in two lectures given in Cambridge, England, in 1986 to commemorate the famous British physicist Paul Dirac. Professor Feynman examines the nature of antiparticles, and in particular the relationship between quantum spin and statistics. Professor Weinberg speculates on how Einstein's theory of gravitation might be reconciled with quantum theory in the final law of physics. Highly accessible, deeply thought provoking, this book will appeal to all those interested in the development of modern physics.
Problems in Quantum Mechanics
by G. L. Squires
In this book, the key ideas of quantum mechanics are well illustrated by a carefully chosen set of problems complete with detailed, step-by-step solutions. Beginning with a chapter on orders of magnitude, a variety of topics is then covered, including the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, Schrodinger's equation, angular momentum, the hydrogen atom, the harmonic oscillator, spin, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, the variational method, multielectron atoms, transitions and scattering. Throughout, the physical interpretation or application of certain results is highlighted, thereby providing useful insights into a wide range of systems and phenomena. There is considerable emphasis on applications to atomic, nuclear, and solid-state physics.
Quantum Physics
by Alastair I.M. Rae
Albert Einstein's celebrated remark that God does not play dice was his response to a set of new scientific ideas now known as quantum physics. These theories threatened the ordered determinism of the Newtonian universe, presenting the radical challenge of an unstable world disturbed by our very attempts to measure or observe it. Quantum physics introduces the alarming possibilities that the observer's mind is the only reality, or that there may be parallel universes. Alternatively, its contradictions may suggest that despite its manifest successes, quantum physics still leaves us in need of a further revolution in thought and the final complete theory of the physical universe. Alastair Rae's introductory exploration has been hailed as a masterpiece of clarity, and offers an engaging guide to the theories offered.
Quantum Phase Transitions
by Subir Sachdev
From Physics to Metaphysics
by Michael Redhead
The book is drawn from the Tarner lectures delivered in Cambridge in 1993. It deals with the ultimate nature of reality, and how this is revealed by modern physical theories such as relativity and quantum theory. The author defends the objectivity and rationality of science against the views of relativists and social constructionists. He claims that modern physics gives us a tentative and fallible, but nevertheless rational, approach to the nature of physical reality. He examines the role of subjectivity in science in the fields of relativity theory, statistical mechanics and quantum theory, and rejects recent claims of an essential role for human consciousness in physics. Finally, he considers prospects for a Theory of Everything and how to assess scientific progress. This book will engage popular science readers as well as students and professionals.
