Review
From the reviews: "This book gives a coherent presentation of both the experimental and the theoretical aspects of these subjects. Since 1984, when it was first published, it is now in its 6th edition which is a clear indication that this volume has gained already a large hearing in the scientific world. A characteristic feature of this book is that the authors take the opportunity of each new edition to include the latest development in this very active field. In the 6th edition, in particular, they have added an entire new chapter dealing with entangled wave-functions, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, Bells inequalities, the paradox of Schrodinger's cat the concept of decohrence, Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum computers and quantum information theory. ...I recommend this book unreservedly for its high pedagogical value, more specially to the students starting their Master degree (Lere licence)."

. This volume gives a coherent presentation of both the experimental and the theoretical aspects of atomic and quantum physics and can serve as an excellent advanced book for students of physics and also for students of neighboring disciplines such as chemistry and electrical engineering.

Product Description
The Physics of Atoms and Quanta is a thorough introduction to experiments and theory in this field. Every classical and modern aspect is covered and discussed in detail. As this text ends with the fundamentals of classical bonding, it leads into the second and more advanced book by the same authors entitled "Molecular Physics and Elements of Quantum Chemistry". This 6th edition includes new developments, such as new experiments on quantum entanglement, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradoxon, Bell's inequality, Schrödinger's cat, and decoherence; the quantum computer, quantum information, Bose-Einstein-Condensation, and the atom laser are also discussed. Here, the student will find 170 problems and their solutions, which make this book a real study text.
FROM THE REVIEWS
JOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE ELECTROCHEMISTRY "This reviewer is most happy with the quantum mechanics part, which is very clear and explicit. Typical examples are the Dirac equation and the Hartree-Fock method. The text is in no way redundant to proper quantum physics textbooks, but more convenient and clear to read for students, especially if they have no ambitions in theoretical physics. On the other hand, the treatment is much more profound than in experimental physics textbooks such as Gerthsen . . . The book is well written and clear . . . The present edition is already very well suited for undergraduate courses in physics and chemistry. Especially for the latter group it is important that exactly the right amount of mathematical overhead is included, and that the theoretical background for many applications is explained in a more profound and concise way than in many texts specialized on one application only. Very helpful also for lectures are the exercises with (brief) solutions."
