Quantum Mechanics. Volume III: Fermions, Bosons, Photons, Correlations, and Etanglement

This new, third volume of Cohen-Tannoudji's groundbreaking textbook covers advanced topics of quantum mechanics such as uncorrelated and correlated identical particles, the quantum theory of the electromagnetic field, absorption, emission and scattering of photons by atoms, and quantum entanglement. Written in a didactically unrivalled manner, the textbook explains the fundamental concepts in seven chapters, each followed by complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. Completing the success story : the third and final volume of the quantum mechanics textbook written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë. As easily comprehensible as possible : all steps of the physical background and its mathematical representation are spelled out explicitly. Comprehensive : in addition to the fundamentals themselves, the books comes with a wealth of elaborately explained examples and applications.
