La Física Cuántica es la física de nuestro siglo. Su contenido es hoy imprescindible no sólo para el físico, sino también para otros profesionales (químicos, ingenieros, médicos...). El libro ha sido redactado por un amplio grupo de profesores, especialistas reconocidos en sus respectivos campos de conocimiento, que han aunado su experiencia en un esfuerzo colectivo. Ofrece al lector una introduccion a los fenomenos cuanticos y a las primeras teorias que se formularon para describirlos, una mecanica cuantica elemental lo mas completa posible, asi como sus multiples aplicaciones al estudio de los atomos, las moleculas, los solidos, los nucleos atomicos, las particulas elementales, e introducciones a la Informacion Cuantica y al atrapamiento y manipulacion de iones, atomos y fotones individuales. Ademas, incluye mas de 300 ejercicios, cuya solucion se explica detalladamente al final de cada parte. La actual edicion ha sido puesta al dia incorporando a su contenido algunos temas recientes y de gran interes. Entre ellos hay que destacar: -La actualizacion del Sistema Internacional de Unidades (SI) realizada en mayo de 2019. -Los competitivos avances en ordenadores cuanticos, en años recientes y, en particular, en 2019.

Introduces the concepts and methods of the topics on a level suitable for graduate students and researchers. The formalism is developed in close conjunction with the description of a number of physical systems: cohesion and dielectric properties of the electron gas, superconductivity, superfluidity, nuclear matter and nucleon pairing, matter and radiation, interaction of fields by particle exchange and mass generation. Emphasis is placed on analogies between the various systems rather than on advanced or specialized aspects, with the purpose of illustrating common ideas within different domains of physics. Starting from a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and classical electromagnetism, the exposition is self-contained and explicitly details all steps of the derivations. The nbew ediiton features a subtantially new treatment of nucleon pairing.

Why, today, would anyone undertake a plan to launch a spacecraft some 30 years in the future, and on a journey that would take some 40 years to complete? Paul Gilster investigates the science, and the spirit, of the NASA and JPL researchers who are actually at work on just such a project.''Gilster introduces the challenges of imagining and planning interstellar exploration by leading readers through the difficulties of reaching and exploring the nearest bright star, Alpha Centauri. Seeded by ideas and concepts of the late Robert Forward, the narrative is framed as a learning process undertaken simultaneously by writer and reader. Although Alpha Centauri is astronomically nearby, a postulated trip by robot spacecraft, followed by manned exploration, would take 50 to 1,000 years, depending on the type of spacecraft propulsion used. Various methods for interstellar travel are introduced and discussed, including solar sails that use the power of starlight, nuclear fusion, antimatter hybrid systems, and beamed laser propulsion'' - W. E. Howard III, "CHOICE", March 2005.''One challenge is to get there in a reasonable time so that funding support, public interest, and events on Earth will not divert attention from the mission. Another challenge is timing the mission relative to available technology, because with better technology it might be possible to send a later robot on the same mission in less time. The book has no figures, tables, or illustrations but does include 30 pages of notes and an adequate 14-page index. Though the concepts presented are often fanciful, this book will appeal to readers who wonder about the future of exploration beyond the solar system. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers; professionals'' - W. E. Howard III, "CHOICE", March 2005.
