A Quantum Approach to Condensed Matter Physics
Editorial Reviews
Review
'I believe the book will mostly interest research physicists, including experimentalists, wanting to understand better some of the latest theoretical developments. For them it is a very good text indeed and the authors are to be congratulated on it.' J. L. Beeby, Contemporary Physics
'As an introduction to the modern theory of condensed matter ... this book is excellent.' Microscopy and Analysis
'The book has the merit of plentiful problems that cover a broad range of topics.' Physics Today
Book Description
This reader-friendly introduction to the theory that underlies the many fascinating properties of solids assumes only an elementary knowledge of quantum mechanics. Taylor and Heinonen describe the methods for performing calculations and making predictions of some of the many complex phenomena that occur in solids and quantum liquids. Their book, aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, leads the reader from the fundamental behavior of electrons and atoms in solids to the most recently explored manifestations of the quantum nature of condensed matter.
