Feynman fizik dersleri
by
Contents v.1 Mekanik, ışınım, ısı -- v.2 Elektromanyetizma ve madde -- v.3 Kuantum mekaniği.
Summary Derslerin 1. cildi, 1961-62 akademik yılında California Teknoloji Enstitüsünde (Caltech) Prof. R.P. Feynman tarafından giriş fiziği dersi olarak verilmiş olan bir konferanslar dizisine dayanmaktadır; tüm Caltech birinci ve ikinci sınıf öğrencilerinin aldığı fizik dersinin ilk yılını kapsamaktadır; ikinci yılı kapsayan benzer bir dizi de 1962-63'te bunun peşinden gelmiştir. Kitap, alışıldık fiziğe giriş konularının dışında bir seyir izler. Kuantum fiziğine giriş niteliği de taşıyan bu kitap, Feynman'ın dehasını ve en zor konuları basite indirme becerisini yansıtmaktadır. İkinci cildin dersleri elektrik ve manyetizmanın fiziğinin eksiksiz bir şekilde işlenmesine ayrılmıştır. İlk olarak öğrencilere Franklin'in el yordamı keşiflerinden başlayıp, Maxwell'in büyük birleştirmesinden geçip, malzemenin özelliklerine dair Lorentz elektron kuramına ve elektromanyetik öz enerjinin çözülememiş ikilemlerine kadar eksiksiz bir şekilde aktarmak hedeflenmiştir. İkinci olarak da, vektör analizinin ana hatlarını sunarak öğrencilerin alan kuramlarının matematiğine sağlam bir giriş yapması amaçlanmıştır. Matematiksel yöntemlerin genel yararlılığını vurgulamak için, bazen fiziğin başka kısımlarından ilgili bölümler incelenmiştir. Bu üç cilt Feynman'ın 1961-64 yılları arasında, California Teknoloji Enstitüsünde (Caltech), bütün birinci ve ikinci sınıf öğrencilerinin aldıkları fizik derslerinin tarihsel bir kaydıdır. Bu ders dizisinin 3. cildi, kuantum mekaniğinin en basit ve en genel olan temel görünümlerini aydınlatmaya çalışmaktadır. İlk dersler olasılık genliği fikrine, genliğin girişimine, bir durumun soyut kavramına, düzeylerin üst üste binme ve ayrışmasına kafa tutmaktadır. Belirli enerji düzeylerine sahip durumların zaman bağımlılığına daha sonra değinilmiştir ve bu fikirler ilk kez iki-durumlu sistemlere uygulanmıştır. Ders sonra daha karmaşık sistemlerin ele alınmasıyla devam etmekte ve bir kristal içindeki elektronların ilerlemesi ile açısal momentumun kuantum mekaniğinin daha tam bir şeması için bir tartışma zemini hazırlamaktadır. Kuantum mekaniğine giriş Schrödinger dalga fonksiyonunun, diferansiyel denklemi ve hidrojen atomu için bir çözümün tartışmasıyla birlikte sona erer.

Partial Differential Equations of First Order and Their Applications to Physics
by
This book tries to point out the mathematical importance of the Partial Differential Equations of First Order (PDEFO) in Physics and Applied Sciences. The intention is to provide mathematicians with a wide view of the applications of this branch in physics, and to give physicists and applied scientists a powerful tool for solving some problems appearing in Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Optics, and General Relativity. This book is intended for senior or first year graduate students in mathematics, physics, or engineering curricula.This book is unique in the sense that it covers the applications of PDEFO in several branches of applied mathematics, and fills the theoretical gap between the formal mathematical presentation of the theory and the pure applied tool to physical problems that are contained in other books.Improvements made in this second edition include corrected typographical errors; rewritten text to improve the flow and enrich the material; added exercises in all chapters; new applications in Chapters 1, 2, and 5 and expanded examples.

A First Introduction to Quantum Physics
by
In this undergraduate textbook, now in its 2nd edition, the author develops the quantum theory from first principles based on very simple experiments: a photon traveling through beam splitters to detectors, an electron moving through magnetic fields, and an atom emitting radiation. From the physical description of these experiments follows a natural mathematical description in terms of matrices and complex numbers. The first part of the book examines how experimental facts force us to let go of some deeply held preconceptions and develops this idea into a description of states, probabilities, observables, and time evolution. The quantum mechanical principles are illustrated using applications such as gravitational wave detection, magnetic resonance imaging, atomic clocks, scanning tunneling microscopy, and many more. The first part concludes with an overview of the complete quantum theory. The second part of the book covers more advanced topics, including the concept of entanglement, the process of decoherence or how quantum systems become classical, quantum computing and quantum communication, and quantum particles moving in space. Here, the book makes contact with more traditional approaches to quantum physics. The remaining chapters delve deeply into the idea of uncertainty relations and explore what the quantum theory says about the nature of reality. The book is an ideal accessible introduction to quantum physics, tested in the classroom, with modern examples and plenty of end-of-chapter exercises.

QBism
by
Measured by the accuracy of its predictions and the scope of its technological applications, quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science--as well as one of the most misunderstood. The deeper meaning of quantum mechanics remains controversial almost a century after its invention. Providing a way past quantum theory's paradoxes and puzzles, QBism offers a strikingly new interpretation that opens up for the nonspecialist reader the profound implications of quantum mechanics for how we understand and interact with the world. Short for Quantum Bayesianism, QBism adapts many of the conventional features of quantum mechanics in light of a revised understanding of probability. Bayesian probability, unlike the standard "frequentist probability," is defined as a numerical measure of the degree of an observer's belief that a future event will occur or that a particular proposition is true. Bayesianism's advantages over frequentist probability are that it is applicable to singular events, its probability estimates can be updated based on acquisition of new information, and it can effortlessly include frequentist results. But perhaps most important, much of the weirdness associated with quantum theory--the idea that an atom can be in two places at once, or that signals can travel faster than the speed of light, or that Schrödinger's cat can be simultaneously dead and alive--dissolves under the lens of QBism. Using straightforward language without equations, Hans Christian von Baeyer clarifies the meaning of quantum mechanics in a commonsense way that suggests a new approach to physics in general.
