Problem Book in Quantum Field Theory (2007)(2nd ed.)(en)(256s)

The matter publication in Quantum box idea includes approximately 2 hundred issues of strategies or tricks that support scholars to enhance their knowing and enhance talents valuable for pursuing the topic. It offers with the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, classical box conception, canonical quantization of scalar, Dirac and electromagnetic fields, the techniques within the lowest order of perturbation thought, renormalization and regularization.

Quantum theory: concepts and methods

There are various first-class books on quantum thought from which you can actually learn how to compute power degrees, transition charges, go sections, and so forth. The theoretical ideas given in those books are sometimes utilized by physicists to compute observable amounts. Their predictions can then be in comparison with experimental facts.

Quantum information science

The objectives of the first Asia-Pacific convention on Quantum info technological know-how, that are embodied during this quantity, have been to advertise and improve the interactions and alternate of information between researchers of the Asia-Pacific area within the speedily advancing box of quantum info technological know-how. the amount includes many major researchers' most recent experimental and theoretical findings, which jointly represent a beneficial contribution to this interesting zone.
