Quantum, Practical Physics

Entropy edited by Andreas Greven, Gerhard Keller, & Gerald Warnecke (Princeton University Press) The concept of entropy arose in the physical sciences during the nineteenth century, particularly in thermodynamics and statistical physics, as a measure of the equilibria and evolution of thermodynamic systems. Two main views developed: the macroscopic view formulated originally by Carnot, Clausius, Gibbs, Planck, and Caratheodory and the microscopic approach associated with Boltzmann and Maxwell. Since then both approaches have made possible deep insights into the nature and behavior of thermodynamic and other microscopically unpredictable processes. However, the mathematical tools used have later developed independently of their original physical background and have led to a plethora of methods and differing conventions. More

Nano-Engineering in Science and Technology: An Introduction to the World of Nano-Design by Michael Rieth (World Scientific Publishing) provides a vivid introduction to the procedures, tech­niques, problems and difficulties of computational nano-engineering and design. The reader is given step by step the scientific background information, for an easy reconstruction of the explanations. The focus is laid on the molecular dynamics method, which is well suited for explaining the topic to the reader with just a basic knowledge of physics. Results and conclusions of detailed nano-engineering studies are presented in an instructive style. In summary, the book puts readers immediately in a position to take their first steps in the field of computational nano-engineering and design. More

Photoelectron Spectroscopy 3rd edition by  Stefan Hufner (Springer Verlag) presents an up-to-date introduction to the field by comprehensively treating the electronic structures of atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces. Brief descriptions are given of inverse photoemission, spin-polarized photoemission and photoelectron diffraction. Experimental aspects are considered throughout the book and the results are carefully interpreted in terms of the theory. A wealth of measured data is presented in tabulator form for easy use by experimentalists. More

Quantum Theory and Its Stochastic Limit by Luigi Accardi, Igor Volovich, Yun Gang Lu (Springer Verlag) The subject of this book is a new mathematical technique, the stochastic limit developed for solving nonlinear problems in quantum theory involving systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom (typically quantum fields or gases in the thermodynamic limit). This technique is condensed into some easily applied rules (called "stochastic golden rule") which allow us to single out the dominating contributions to the dynamical evolution of systems in regimes involving long times and small effects. In the stochastic limit, the original Hamiltonian theory is approximated using a new Hamiltonian theory that is singular. These singular Hamiltonians still define a unitary evolution and the new equations give much more insight into the relevant physical phenomena than the original Hamiltonian equations. Especially, one can explicitly compute multitime correlations (e.g. photon statistics) or coherent vectors, which are beyond the reach of typical asymptotic techniques, as well as deduce in the Hamiltonian framework the widely used stochastic Schrodinger equation and the master equation.
This monograph is well suited as a textbook in the emerging field of stochastic limit techniques in quantum theory. More

Facts and Mysteries in Elementary Particle Physics by Martinus Veltman (World Scientific) provides a comprehensive overview of modern particle physics accessible to anyone with a passion for wanting to know how the universe works. We are introduced to the known particles of the world we live in. More

Practical Physics

Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Extended Version 5th edition by Paul Allen Tipler, Gene Mosca (W.H. Freeman) this comprehensive edition has everything the other editions small editions have. For nearly 30 years, Paul Tipler's Physics for Scientists and Engineers has set the standard in the introductory calculus-based physics course for clarity, accuracy, and precision. In this fifth edition, Paul has recruited Gene Mosca to bring his years of teaching experience to bear on the text, to scrutinize every explanation and example from the perspective of the freshman student. The result is a teaching tool that retains its precision and rigor, but offers struggling students the support they need to solve problems strategically and to gain real understanding of physical concepts.
