Quantum Mechanics II: Advanced Topics offers a comprehensive exploration of the state-of-the-art in various advanced topics of current research interest. A follow-up to the authors’ introductory book Quantum Mechanics I: The Fundamentals, this book expounds basic principles, theoretical treatment, case studies, worked-out examples and applications of advanced topics including quantum technologies.

A thoroughly revised and updated this unique volume presents an in-depth and up-to-date progress on the growing topics including latest achievements on quantum technology. In the second edition six new chapters are included and the other ten chapters are extensively revised.

Features

• Covers classical and quantum field theories, path integral formalism and supersymmetric quantum mechanics.

• Highlights coherent and squeezed states, Berry’s phase, Aharonov—Bohm effect and Wigner function.

• Explores salient features of quantum entanglement and quantum cryptography.
• Presents basic concepts of quantum computers and the features of no-cloning theorem and quantum cloning machines.

• Describes the theory and techniques of quantum tomography, quantum simulation and quantum error correction.

• Introduces other novel topics including quantum versions of theory of gravity, cosmology, Zeno effect, teleportation, games, chaos and steering.

• Outlines the quantum technologies of ghost imaging, detection of weak amplitudes and displacements, lithography, metrology, teleportation of optical images, sensors, batteries and internet.

• Contains several worked-out problems and exercises in each chapter.

Quantum Mechanics II: Advanced Topics addresses various currently emerging exciting topics of quantum mechanics. It emphasizes the fundamentals behind the latest cutting-edge developments to help explain the motivation for deeper exploration. The book is a valuable resource for graduate students in physics and engineering wishing to pursue research in quantum mechanics.
