	Quantised Vortices Tapio Simula Vortices comprising swirling motion of matter are observable in classical systems at all scales ranging from atomic size to the scale of galaxies. In quantum mechanical systems, such vortices are robust entities whose behaviours are governed by the s… Publication Date: August, 2019 Read More
	Quantum Thermodynamics Sebastian Deffner, Steve Campbell This book provides an introduction to the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics, with particular focus on its relation to quantum information and its implications for quantum computers and next generation quantum technologies. The text, aimed at g… Publication Date: July, 2019 Read More
	Elements of Photoionization Quantum Dynamics Methods Lampros Nikolopoulos The dynamics of quantum systems exposed to ultrafast (at the femtosecond time-scale) and strong laser radiation has a highly non-linear character, leading to a number of new phenomena, outside the reach of traditional spectroscopy. The current laser … Publication Date: March, 2019 Read More
	Quantum Field Theory Roberto Iengo While there are many good books in particle physics, very seldom if ever a non-specialist comprehensive description of Quantum Field Theory has appeared. The intention of this short book is to offer a guided tour of that innermost topic of Theoretica… Publication Date: July, 2018 Read More
	Theories of Matter, Space, and Time Nick Evans, Steve King This book and its prequel (Theories of Matter, Space, and Time: Classical Theories) grew out of courses that are taught by the author… Publication Date: June, 2018 Read More
	Relativistic Many-Body Theory and Statistical Mechanics Lawrence P. Horwitz, Rafael I. Arshansky In 1941, E.C.G. Stueckelberg wrote a paper, based on ideas of V. Fock, that established the foundations of a theory that could covariantly describe the classical and quantum relativistic mechanics of a single particle. Horwitz and Piron extended the … Publication Date: May, 2018 Read More
	An Introduction to Quantum Communication Networks Mohsen Razavi With the fast pace of developments in quantum technologies, it is more than ever necessary to make the new generation of students in science and engineering familiar with the key ideas behind such disruptive systems. This book intends to fill such a … Publication Date: May, 2018 Read More
	A Concise Introduction to Quantum Mechanics Mark Swanson Assuming a background in basic classical physics, multivariable calculus, and differential equations, A Concise Introduction to Quantum Mechanics provides a self-contained presentation of the mathematics and physics of quantum mechanics. The relevant… Publication Date: May, 2018 Read More
	How to Understand Quantum Mechanics John P. Ralston How to Understand Quantum Mechanics presents an accessible introduction to understanding quantum mechanics in a natural and intuitive way, which was advocated by Erwin Schroedinger and Albert Einstein. A theoretical physicist reveals… Publication Date: May, 2018 Read More
	Quantum Metrology with Photoelectrons, Volume 2 Paul Hockett Since the turn of the century, the increasing availability of photoelectron imaging experiments, along with the increasing sophistication of experimental techniques, and the availability of computational resources for analysis and numerics, has allow… Publication Date: April, 2018 Read More

	Relativity, Symmetry, and the Structure of Quantum Theory: Volume 2 William Klink, Wolfgang Schweiger The first version of quantum theory, developed in the mid 1920’s, is what is called nonrelativistic quantum theory; it is based on a form of relativity which, in a previous volume, was called Newton relativity. But quickly after this first developmen… Publication Date: March, 2018 Read More
	Butterfly in the Quantum World Indubala I. Satija (with contributions by Douglas Hofstadter) Butterfly in the Quantum World by Indu Satija, with contributions by Douglas Hofstadter, is the first book to tell the story of the “Hofstadter butterfly,” a beautiful and fascinating graph lying at the heart of the quantum theory of matter. T… Publication Date: September, 2016 Read More
	Discrete Quantum Mechanics H. Thomas Williams After a quarter century of discoveries that rattled the foundations of classical mechanics and electrodynamics, the year 1926 saw the publication of two works intended to provide a theoretical structure to support new quantum explanations of the suba… Publication Date: December, 2015 Read More
	Relativity, Symmetry and the Structure of the Quantum Theory William Klink, Sujeev Wickramasekara Quantum theory is one of the most successful of all physical theories. Our everyday world is dominated by devices that function because of knowledge of the quantum world. Yet many, physicists and non-physicists alike, find the theory which explains t… Publication Date: 04/01/2014 Read More
	Quantum Information in Gravitational Fields Marco Lanzagorta, One of the major scientific thrusts in recent years has been to try to harness quantum phenomena to increase dramatically the performance of a wide variety of classical information processing devices. In particular, it is generally accepted that quan… Publication Date: 06/01/2014 Read More
