This text offers an accessible introduction to relativity, quantum mechanics, and statistical physics. It covers various applications in molecular physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, and cosmology. The authors balance theory with relevant applications, including new ones, and provide a web-based simulation software package, QMTools, to enhance understanding. Icons indicate software utilization throughout the text.

 

  • Extensively revised and expanded chapters on relativity, quantum mechanics, and statistical physics.
  • New applications added to demonstrate real-world relevance, particularly in engineering scenarios.
  • Replacement of the previous desktop software package with QMTools, an online simulation software.
  • Addition of approximately 30 new end-of-chapter problems.
  • Updated information on topics such as black holes, matter waves, and particle physics.
  • Inclusion of new materials on topics like anti-hydrogen, Bose-Einstein and Fermi condensations, and cosmology.
  • Guest essays available online for additional insights.
  • Superconductivity chapter and appendices moved to the companion web site.
  • Worked examples and exercises reinforce understanding and problem-solving skills.
  • Optional special topic sections provide in-depth treatment of key concepts.
