{"product_id":"modern-quantum-theory-reinhold-bertlmann-9780199683338","title":"Modern Quantum Theory: From Quantum Mechanics to Entanglement and Quantum Information","description":"In the last few decades quantum theory has experienced an extensive revival owing to the rapid development of quantum information and quantum technologies. Based on a series of courses taught by the authors, the book takes the reader on a journey from the beginnings of quantum theory in the early twentieth century to the realm of quantum-information processing in the twenty-first. The central aim of this textbook, therefore, is to offer a detailed introduction to quantum theory that covers both physical and information-theoretic aspects, with a particular focus on the concept of entanglement and its characteristics, variants, and applications. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuitable for undergraduate students in physics and related subjects who encounter quantum mechanics for the first time, this book also serves as a resource for graduate students who want to engage with more advanced topics, offering a collection of derivations, proofs, technical methods, and references for graduate students and more experienced readers engaged with teaching and active research. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is divided into three parts: Part I - Quantum Mechanics, Part II - Entanglement and Non-Locality, and Part III - Advanced Topics in Modern Quantum Physics. Part I provides a modern view on quantum mechanics, a central topic of theoretical physics. Part II is dedicated to the foundations of quantum mechanics and entanglement: starting with density operators, hidden-variable theories, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox, and Bell Inequalities, but also touching upon philosophical questions, followed by a deeper study of entanglement-based quantum communication protocols like teleportation, before giving a detailed exposition of entanglement theory, including tools for the detection and quantification of entanglement. Part III is intended as a collection of standalone chapters to supplement the contents of Parts I and II, covering more advanced topics such as classical and quantum entropies, quantum operations and measurements, decoherence, quantum metrology and quantum optics, and entanglement in particle physics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reinhold Bertlmann, Nicolai Friis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199683336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199683338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.20w x 3.10d","brand":"Reinhold Bertlmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45479094583551,"sku":"9780199683338","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03079564-8e91-41ff-9ef3-bb8ea0aacd25.jpg?v=1715936260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-quantum-theory-reinhold-bertlmann-9780199683338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
