TY - BOOK AU - Paul, Harry, TI - Introduction to quantum theory SN - 9780521876933 U1 - 530.12 PAU PY - 2008/// CY - Cambridge PB - Cambridge University Press N1 - Providing a deeper understanding of the microscopic world through quantum theory, this supplementary text covers a wider range of topics than conventional textbooks. Emphasis is given to modern achievements such as entanglement, quantum teleportation, and Bose-Einstein condensation. Macroscopic quantum effects of practical relevance, for example, superconductivity and the quantum Hall effect, are also described. Looking to the future, the author discusses the exciting prospects for quantum computing. This book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in quantum theory and quantum optics-BOOK JACKET.
