A first introduction to quantum physics
Kok, Pieter.

A first introduction to quantum physics[electronic resource] /by Pieter Kok. - Second edition. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xvii, 296 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Undergraduate lecture notes in physics,2192-4805. - Undergraduate lecture notes in physics..

Chapter 1: Three simple experiments -- Chapter 2: Photons and Interference -- Chapter 3: Electrons with Spin -- Chapter 4: Atoms and Energy -- Chapter 5: Operators -- Chapter 6: Entanglement -- Chapter 7: Decoherence -- Chapter 8: The Motion of Particles -- Chapter 9: Uncertainty Relations -- Chapter 10: The Nature of Reality.

In this undergraduate textbook, now in its 2nd edition, the author develops the quantum theory from first principles based on very simple experiments: a photon traveling through beam splitters to detectors, an electron moving through magnetic fields, and an atom emitting radiation. From the physical description of these experiments follows a natural mathematical description in terms of matrices and complex numbers. The first part of the book examines how experimental facts force us to let go of some deeply held preconceptions and develops this idea into a description of states, probabilities, observables, and time evolution. The quantum mechanical principles are illustrated using applications such as gravitational wave detection, magnetic resonance imaging, atomic clocks, scanning tunneling microscopy, and many more. The first part concludes with an overview of the complete quantum theory. The second part of the book covers more advanced topics, including the concept of entanglement, the process of decoherence or how quantum systems become classical, quantum computing and quantum communication, and quantum particles moving in space. Here, the book makes contact with more traditional approaches to quantum physics. The remaining chapters delve deeply into the idea of uncertainty relations and explore what the quantum theory says about the nature of reality. The book is an ideal accessible introduction to quantum physics, tested in the classroom, with modern examples and plenty of end-of-chapter exercises.
