"This is an ambitious book aimed to
provide an introduction to both the revolutionary theories of the
twentieth century, quantum mechanics and special relativity, beginning
from a historical perspective but advancing to topics of recent
interest such as entanglement and quantum computing."
-- Professor Tom Kibble, Imperial College London
This book is based on the lecture courses taught by
Dunningham and Vedral at the University of Leeds. The book contains all
the necessary material for quantum physics and relativity in the first
two years of a typical physics degree course. The choice of topics
complies fully with the Institute of Physics guidelines, but the
coverage also includes more interesting and up-to-date applications,
such as Bose condensation and quantum teleportation.
