Introductory book on quantum mechanics About the book: This book will tell you about the origin and development of quantum mechanics, about its new concepts. It will describe how the new theory deciphered the secrets of the structure of atoms, molecules, crystals, atomic nuclei, and how quantum mechanics is dealing with the problem of the most fundamental of all properties of matter - the interaction of particles and the relationships between fields and matter. The book was translated from the...

Particle entanglement is one of quantum mechanics’ strangest predictions. In fact, physicists have been trying to disprove it ever since they predicted it about 80 years ago. Here to untangle the issue for us is Dr. Jason Gallicchio, postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago.

We define a dynamical system (M, f) and classify its solutions as equilibria, periodic, and aperiodic. An �aperiodic� solution is either �wandering� or belongs to a non�wandering set, which in turn can be decomposed into chain-recurrent sets. Various cases are illustrated with concrete examples, such as the Rossler and Lorenz systems.

Here we brie�y review parts of classical dynamics that we will need lateron; symplectic invariance, canonical transformations, and stability of Hamiltonian �ows. If your eventual destination are applications such as chaos in quantumand/or semiconductor systems, read this chapter. If you work in neuroscience or �uid dynamics, skip this chapter, continue reading with the billiard dynamics of chapter 8 which requires no incantations of symplectic pairs or loxodromic quartets.

Semiclassical approximations to quantum mechanics are valid in the regime where the de Broglie wavelength _ _ _/p of a particle with momentump is much shorter than the length scales across which the potential of the system changes signi�cantly. In the short wavelength approximation the particleis a point-like object bouncing o_ potential walls, the same way it does in the classical mechanics.

So far we have concentrated on describing the trajectory of a single initial point. Our next task is to de�ne and determine the size of a neighborhood of x(t). We shall do this by assuming that the �ow is locally smooth and by describing the local geometry of the neighborhood by studying the �ow linearized around x(t). Nearby points aligned along the stable (contracting) directions remainin the neighborhood of the trajectory x(t) = ft(x0); the ones to keep an eye on are the points which...

As we shall see, the trace formulas and spectral determinants work well, sometimes very well. The question is: Why? And it still is. The heuristic manipulations of chapter 18 were naive and reckless, as we are facing in�nite-dimensional vector spaces and singular integral kernels. We now outline the key ingredients of proofs that put the trace and determinant formulas on solid footing. This requires taking a closer look at the evolution operators from a mathematical point of view, since up to...

As noted in chapter 37, the classical mechanics of the helium atom is unde�ned at the instant of a triple collision. This is a common phenomenon - there is often some singularity or discontinuity in the classical mechanics of physical systems.This discontinuity can even be helpful in classifying the dynamics. The points in phase space which have a past or future at the discontinuity form manifolds which divide the phase space and provide the symbolic dynamics. The general rule is that quantum...

So far the trace formulas have been derived assuming that the system underconsideration is bound. As we shall now see, we are in luck - the semiclassics of bound systems is all we need to understand the semiclassics for open, scattering systems as well. We start by a brief review of the quantum theory of elastic scattering of a point particle from a (repulsive) potential, and then develop the connection to the standard Gutzwiller theory for bound systems. We do this in two steps - �rst, a...

We shall now show that the global evolution of the density of representative points is conveniently formulated in terms of linear action of evolution operators. We shall also show that the important, long-time �natural� invariant densities are unspeakably unfriendly and essentially uncomputable everywhere singular func-tions with support on fractal sets. Hence, in chapter 17 we rethink what is it that the theory needs to predict (�expectation values� of �observables�), relate these...

Much of the progress in solid-state microelectronics has come from the continued reduction in size of the transistors that make up integrated circuits (ICs), having dropped by a factor of 10 in the last decade to where minimum device geometries have reached approximately 350 nanometers in mass production. Continued improvements in ICs will require a device technology that can be scaled down to the sub-100 nanometer size regime. There, the quantum mechanical nature of the electron becomes...
