Quantum Mechanics And Statistical Mechanics

Introductory Applied Quantum and Statistical Mechanics

Dieses Lehrbuch der Quantenmechanik ist nicht für Physiker, sondern vorrangig für Elektroingenieure und Materialwissenschaftler gedacht. Entsprechend werden die theoretischen Konzepte durch praxisrelevante Beispiele, etwa aus der Halbleiterherstellung oder der Entwicklung von Quantencomputern, illustriert. Mit durchgearbeiteten Beispielen und Kontrollfragen für das Selbststudium; ein Lösungsheft ist erhältlich.

Quantum Statistical Mechanics

Introduction to Relativistic Statistical Mechanics

This is one of the very few books focusing on relativistic statistical mechanics, and is written by a leading expert in this special field. It started from the notion of relativistic kinetic theory, half a century ago, exploding into relativistic statistical mechanics. This will interest specialists of various fields, especially the (classical and quantum) plasma physics. However, quantum physics ? to which a major part is devoted ? will be of more interest since, not only it applies to quantum plasma physics, but also to nuclear matter and to strong magnetic field, cosmology, etc. Although the domain of gauge theory is not covered in this book, the topic is not completely forgotten, in particular in the domain of plasma physics. This book is particularly readable for graduate students and a fortiori to young researchers for whom it offers methods and also appropriate schemes to deal with the current problems encountered in astrophysics, in strong magnetic, in nuclear or even in high energy physics.
