Quantum Physics for Scientists and Technologists is a
self-contained, comprehensive review of this complex branch of
science. The book demystifies difficult concepts and views the
subject through non-physics fields such as computer science,
biology, chemistry, and nanotechnology. It explains key concepts
and phenomena in the language of non-physics majors and with simple
math, assuming no prior knowledge of the topic.
This cohesive book begins with the wavefunction to develop the
basic principles of quantum mechanics such as the uncertainty
principle and wave-particle duality. Comprehensive coverage of
quantum theory is presented, supported by experimental results and
explained through applications and examples without the use of
abstract and complex mathematical tools or formalisms. From there,
the book:
* Takes the mystery out of the Schrodinger equation, the
fundamental equation of quantum physics, by applying it to
atoms
* Shows how quantum mechanics explains the periodic table of
elements
* Introduces the quantum mechanical concept of spin and spin
quantum number, along with Pauli's Exclusion Principle regarding
the occupation of quantum states
* Addresses quantum states of molecules in terms of rotation and
vibration of diatomic molecules
* Explores the interface between classical statistical mechanics
and quantum statistical mechanics
* Discusses quantum mechanics as a common thread through different
fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology
Each chapter features real-world applications of one or more
quantum mechanics principles. "Study Checkpoints" and problems with
solutions are presented throughout to make difficult concepts easy
to understand. In addition, pictures, tables, and diagrams with
full explanations are used to present data and further explain
difficult concepts.
This book is designed as a complete course in quantum mechanics
for senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in
non-physics majors. It also applies to courses such as modern
physics, physical chemistry and nanotechnology. The material is
also accessible to scientists, engineers, and technologists working
in the fields of computer science, biology, chemistry, engineering,
and nanotechnology.
