This book, the second in a two-volume set, provides an introduction to the basics of (mainly) non-relativistic quantum mechanics. While the first volume addresses the basic principles, this second volume discusses applications and extensions to more complex problems. In addition to topics dealt with in traditional quantum mechanics texts, such as symmetries or many-body problems, it also treats issues of current interest such as entanglement, Bell¿s inequality, decoherence and various aspects of quantum information in detail. Furthermore, questions concerning the basis of quantum mechanics and epistemological issues which are relevant e.g. to the realism debate are discussed explicitly. A chapter on the interpretations of quantum mechanics rounds out the book. Readers are introduced to the requisite mathematical tools step by step. In the appendix, the most relevant mathematics is compiled in compact form, and more advanced topics such as the Lenz vector, Hardy¿s experiment and Shor¿s algorithm are treated in more detail. As an essential aid to learning and teaching, 130 exercises are included, most of them with solutions.This revised second edition is expanded by an introduction into some ideas and problems of relativistic quantum mechanics. In this second volume, an overview of quantum field theory is given and basic conceptions of quantum electrodynamics are treated in some detail. Originally written as a course for students of science education, the book addresses all those science students and others who are looking for a reasonably simple, fresh and modern introduction to the field.
Das zweibändige Lehrbuch bietet eine Einführung in die Grundlagen der nicht-relativistischen Quantenmechanik. Der Autor stellt Standardthemen kombiniert mit neuen Entwicklungen dar und schafft so einen neuen Zugang zum Thema. Während in Teil 1 die wesentlichen Prinzipien erarbeitet werden, finden sich in Teil 2 die Anwendungen und Erweiterungen des Formalismus. Im Anhang ist das wichtigste mathematische Rüstzeug kompakt gesammelt, so dass auf ergänzende Literatur weitgehend verzichtet werden kann.

Der Autor stellt Standardthemen kombiniert mit neuen Entwicklungen dar und schafft so einen neuen Zugang zum Thema. Die Hilfsmittel für die mathematische Formulierung der wesentlichen Prinzipien der Quantenmechanik erläutert er schrittweise. Weiterführende Themen wie z. B. der Quanten-Zeno-Effekt werden im Anhang behandelt. Der Band enthält 250 Aufgaben und ist insbesondere für Studierende geeignet, die nicht den Schwerpunkt Theorie gewählt haben.
