Libros de Química cuántica

This book discusses many advances in optical physic, and is aimed at advanced undergraduates taking courses in atomic physics, or graduate students in the fields of lasers, astrophysics, and physical chemistry. The book is intended mainly for experimentalists, and the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with free atoms is introduced using classical or semi-classical calculations wherever possible. Topics discussed include the spontaneous emission of radiation, stimulated transitions and the properties of gas and turnable dye lasers, and the physics and applications of resonance fluorescence, optical double resonance, optical pumping, and atomic beam magnetic resonance experiments.

Las reflexiones aquí recogidas están más bien relacionadas con la ausencia de simetría en el mundo que nos rodea. La asimetría es un fenómeno observable a nivel cotidiano desde que nos levantamos y nos miramos en el espejo. Nuestro cuerpo externamente es claramente asimetrico, y esta caracteristica se pone de manifiesto facilmente si tomamos una foto y realizamos un reflejo de la mitad de nuestra cara en el otro lado. Tras este tipo de reflexion se obtiene un rostro simetrico, que corresponde a una persona diferente de la que vemos frente a nosotros en el espejo. En el interior de nuestro cuerpo la asimetria todavia es mas patente.

Para reforzar el aprendizaje, se agregaron nuevas preguntas de repaso a lo largo del libro. Se agregaron ecuaciones de fin de capítulo, para el estudiante y el profesor. Se incluyó un nuevo ensayo de "quimica en accion" sobre la teoria de la captura de neutron del boro en el capitulo 23. Se agregaron problemas conceptuales del fin-de-capitulo para reforzar la revision de conceptos. Se rehicieron los esquemas moleculares de todo el capitulo 10 y en algunos otros capitulos.

Clary's account makes for fascinating reading, not least because of its clear style and copious citation of primary sources and original scientific articles. The author provides a compelling narrative of Schrodinger's departure in 1933 from a highly eminent position at the University of Berlin to a precarious, untenured position at Magdalen College with political and scientific considerations deftly woven together.' [Read Full Review]ScienceErwin Schrodinger was one of the greatest scientists of all time but it is not widely known that he was a Fellow at Magdalen College, Oxford in the 1930s. This book is an authoritative account of Schrodinger's time in Oxford by Sir David Clary, an expert on quantum chemistry and a former President of Magdalen College, who describes Schrodinger's remarkable life and scientific contributions in a language that can be understood by all. Through access to many unpublished manuscripts, the author reveals in unprecedented detail the events leading up to Schrodinger's sudden departure from Berlin in 1933, his arrival in Oxford and award of the Nobel Prize, his dramatic escape from the Nazis in Austria to return to Oxford, and his urgent flight from Belgium to Dublin at the start of the Second World War.The book presents many acute observations from Schrodinger's wife Anny and his daughter Ruth, who was born in Oxford and became an acquaintance of the author in the last years of her life. It also includes a remarkable letter sent to Schrodinger in Oxford from Adolf Hitler, thanking him for his services to the state as a professor in Berlin. Schrodinger's intense interactions with other great scientists who were also refugees during this period, including Albert Einstein and Max Born, are examined in the context of the chaotic political atmosphere of the time. Fascinating anecdotes of how this flamboyant Austrian scientist interacted with the President and Fellows of a highly traditional Oxford College in the 1930s are a novel feature of the book.A gripping and intimate narrative of one of the most colourful scientists in history, Schrodinger in Oxford explains how his revolutionary breakthrough in quantum mechanics has become such a central feature in 21st century science.

This book presents and explains modern and in-depth approaches to calculating electronic structure and properties of molecules. The beginning of the book contains introductory material culminating in a discussion of the Hartfree-Fock approximation. The remaining text describes a variety of more sophisticated approaches, which improve upon this approximation.

This book discusses the physical phases of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in ordinary environments, as well as in extreme environments of high temperatures and high baryon number. Under such extreme conditions, new phases are thought to exist: the quark-gluon plasma and colour superconductivity. After introducing lattice gauge theory, beginning with fundamentals and reaching important recent developments, this book emphasizes the application of QCD to the study of matter in extreme environments through a host of methods, including lattice gauge theory, lower dimensional model field theories and effective Lagrangians. Suitable for graduate students and researchers entering the field of lattice gauge theory, heavy ion collisions, nuclear theory or high energy phenomenology, as well as astrophysicists interested in the phases of nuclear matter and its impact on our current ideas of the interiors of dense stars.

¿Cómo surge la mecánica cuántica? ¿Desde cuándo se cultiva en México y en qué áreas? ¿En qué términos ha repercutido en el mundo moderno? Éstas y muchas otras preguntas encuentran respuesta en este libro, gracias a la participación de destacados científicos, la mayor parte mexicanos, quienes, desde un enfoque histórico e interdisciplinario y con un lenguaje sencillo y ameno, abordan la trayectoria de la teoría cuántica desde diversos campos del conocimiento.

"This is a tremendous and wonderful book for novices and experts alike. It provides a lucid and insightful look into the empirical and conceptual problems handled so successfully by quantum theory. Ghirardi also leads us through the debates concerning the interpretation and meaning of this tantalizing and fascinating theory--debates in which he himself has been one of the major participants."--"This impressive book leads the lay reader to a real understanding of the problems of interpreting quantum mechanics. It is a well-balanced, indeed wise, book, which will stand the test of time as an intellectually responsible introduction to the field. It is also so far as I know the first book at its level to have chapters on the important topics of quantum cryptography and quantum computation."--

Interactive Quantum Mechanics under Java presents the most up-to-date approach to elementary quantum mechanics. Based on the interactive program INTERQUANTA (included on a CD-ROM and ready to run under the WINDOWS, LINUX and MACINTOSH operating systems) and its extensive 3D color graphic features, the book guides its readers through computer experiments on free particles and wave packets, bound states in various potentials, coherent and squeezed states in time-dependent motion, scattering and resonances, analogies in optics, quantized angular momentum, distinguishable and indistinguishable particles, special functions of mathematical physics. A realm for everybody who wants to work on quantum mechanical problems.
