Exploring Quantum Mechanics: A Collection of 700+ Solved Problems for Students, Lecturers, and Researchers

Autor Victor Galitski, Boris Karnakov, Vladimir Kogan Traducere de Victor Galitski, Jr
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2013

Aplicabilitatea practică a mecanicii cuantice în ingineria modernă și dezvoltarea noilor generații de dispozitive electronice miniaturizate necesită un nivel de înțelegere care depășește simpla asimilare a teoriei. Remarcăm în Exploring Quantum Mechanics o resursă monumentală publicată de Oxford University Press, care transformă conceptele abstracte în exerciții de calcul concrete. Structura volumului, ce însumează peste 700 de probleme rezolvate, este rezultatul unei munci de selecție și rafinare întinse pe parcursul a șase decenii de către autorii Victor Galitski, Boris Karnakov și Vladimir Kogan.

Observăm că materialul este calibrat pentru a fi parcurs cu instrumente de calcul clasice, fiind evitate demonstrațiile matematice excesiv de laborioase care ar putea distrage atenția de la fenomenologia fizică. Subliniem efortul de actualizare depus de Victor Galitski, Jr, care a integrat probleme relevante pentru cercetarea contemporană, făcând legătura între fundamentele stabilite de seniorul Galitski și provocările tehnologice actuale. Comparabil cu Problem Solving in Quantum Mechanics de Marc Cahay în rigurozitate, volumul de față se distinge prin volumul masiv de soluții detaliate și prin faptul că este actualizat pentru contextul modern al fizicii stării solide și al dispozitivelor cuantice, oferind o perspectivă mai vastă asupra întregului domeniu.

Fiecare soluție este prezentată pas cu pas, eliminând ambiguitățile care apar adesea în manualele standard de licență. Deși este o lucrare de dimensiuni considerabile, cele 52 de ilustrații și organizarea tematică facilitează utilizarea sa ca instrument de referință rapid pentru cadre didactice și cercetători. Este, în esență, o punte între mecanica cuantică teoretică și aplicarea ei în laborator sau în proiectarea microelectronică.

De ce să citești această carte

Această culegere este esențială pentru studenții și cercetătorii care doresc să treacă de la intuiție la competență tehnică în fizica cuantică. Prin rezolvarea celor peste 700 de probleme, cititorul câștigă precizie în calcul și o înțelegere profundă a legilor cuantice aplicate. Este un instrument pedagogic rarisim prin densitatea de informație și claritatea soluțiilor, fiind util atât pentru pregătirea examenelor, cât și pentru activitatea de cercetare.


Despre autor

Victor Galitski (Senior) a fost un fizician rus de renume, a cărui carieră s-a întins pe parcursul a câtorva decenii dedicate cercetării și predării fizicii teoretice. Boris Karnakov și Vladimir Kogan au continuat tradiția pedagogică, rafinând materialele de curs în probleme de o rară eleganță matematică. Victor Galitski, Jr., profesor de fizică teoretică la Universitatea din Maryland și membru al Joint Quantum Institute, a preluat această moștenire, traducând și extinzând lucrarea pentru a include descoperirile recente din domeniul materiei condensate și al tehnologiilor cuantice, asigurând relevanța textului pentru mediul academic internațional contemporan.


Descriere

A series of seminal technological revolutions has led to a new generation of electronic devices miniaturized to such tiny scales where the strange laws of quantum physics come into play. There is no doubt that, unlike scientists and engineers of the past, technology leaders of the future will have to rely on quantum mechanics in their everyday work. This makes teaching and learning the subject of paramount importance for further progress. Mastering quantum physics is a very non-trivial task and its deep understanding can only be achieved through working out real-life problems and examples. It is notoriously difficult to come up with new quantum-mechanical problems that would be solvable with a pencil and paper, and within a finite amount of time. This book remarkably presents some 700+ original problems in quantum mechanics together with detailed solutions covering nearly 1000 pages on all aspects of quantum science. The material is largely new to the English-speaking audience. The problems have been collected over about 60 years, first by the lead author, the late Prof. Victor Galitski, Sr. Over the years, new problems were added and the material polished by Prof. Boris Karnakov. Finally, Prof. Victor Galitski, Jr., has extended the material with new problems particularly relevant to modern science.

Recenzii

In his Preface, Victor Galitski, Jr. offers something of an apology for preserving an old-school style to the contents. Nice as it is no such apology is called for with such an excellent book. The publisher, OUP, is to be congratulated on the investment of a professional indexer, who has done a good job.
An excellent resource for students and teachers seeking a deep understanding of quantum mechanics
Finally, the reader receives the English translation of this magnificent book, arguably, the best collection of working problems in Quantum Mechanics. My congratulations are going to thousands of students and working physicists who will definitely find here the material for exercises as well as an inspiration in original research.
Most physicists and physics students will affirm that they learned the subject by working the problems. Here is a treasure trove of quantum problems and solutions - a splendid resource for teachers trying to expand the repertoire of their problem sets and for students of all ages trying to deepen their understanding of the heart of modern physics.
Provides a wide range of opportunities to learn what quantum mechanics does through an impressive collection of solved problems. [...] The result is a gem of old-world craftsmanship, well worth a place alongside the other classic texts of quantum mechanics in any physicist's library.
This is a must-have book for anybody who wants to gain working knowledge of quantum mechanics. It gives both fundamental physical understanding and concrete knowledge of specific technical methods and approaches.
A treasure-trove of insightful problems and solutions, 'Exploring Quantum Mechanics' provides a unique and rare perspective on quantum physics. Spanning a broad range of subfields, it is a testament to the mastery of the original authors, Galitski Sr. et al., and the translator, Galitski Jr. Students and specialists of quantum mechanics in the English speaking science world will greatly benefit from this invaluable collection.
This collection of problems in quantum physics, probably the largest of its kind in the world, gives the reader the unique possibility to learn to feel at home in the world of quantum mechanics. It includes more than seven hundred problems of various difficulty accompanied by detailed solutions, ranging from elementary single-particle quantum mechanics in one dimension to relativistic field theory and advanced aspects of nuclear physics.
