Books by Prof Konstantin K Likharev

Statistical Mechanics: Problems with solutions contains detailed model solutions to the exercise problems formulated in the companion Lecture notes volume. In many cases, the solutions include result discussions that enhance the lecture material. For readers' convenience, the problem assignments are reproduced in this volume.

Statistical Mechanics: Lecture notes forms the basis for a one-semester course on thermodynamics and statistical mechanics with large attention given to fluctuations of various physical variables. To help develop the students toolkit, a brief introduction to physics kinetics is also included.

Quantum Mechanics: Lecture notes is intended to be the basis for a two-semester, graduate-level course. It includes chapters on quantum computation and cryptography, as well as quantum measurements and the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
