| Title | Quantum Mechanics for Material Science : An Introduction |
| Author(s) | Stefanucci, Gianluca |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XI, 238 p. 19 illus., 9 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is based on the course "Elements of Theoretical Physics," which the author has been teaching at the University of Rome Tor Vergata since 2017. It serves as an introduction to quantum mechanics, providing students with essential concepts and tools for future lessons, while still maintaining a comprehensive approach without relying heavily on the level of abstraction and mathematical rigor typically found in Physics programs. Understanding this book only requires knowledge of the mathematical concepts taught in the first two years of basic courses. The bachelor's degree program in Materials Science aims to train students with an interdisciplinary background in physics, chemistry, and engineering. While the study of quantum mechanics is essential, the same level of depth, abstraction, and mathematical rigor as in a Physics degree program is not a requirement. Unfortunately, most textbooks on Quantum Mechanics are geared toward Physics students, making it difficult to find suitable resources for Materials Science students. To make learning easier, the author has chosen not to refer students to various textbooks for different topics. Instead, he has created handouts that have evolved into a condensed textbook on quantum mechanics specifically tailored to the needs of the Materials Science program |

| Title | Rhythm in the Sky : Periodic Motions in the Universe |
| Author(s) | Gangopadhyay, Gautam;Kundu, Anirban |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2024. |
| Description | XV, 211 p. 74 illus., 46 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides a brief and pedagogic introduction to a variety of topics, with a common motif that they all occur, in some way or other, in ???the sky???, and involve some sort of ???rhythm???. Sky is not just the inside of a dome; there are many strata, each with its own beauties and mysteries. As we go up, the atmosphere thins out and ends, and we move into the space, into the realms of planets, asteroids, and comets, and even further, beyond the solar system into the vast Milky Way galaxy. This is where the night sky comes in, with all its twinkling stars, the stars in our own galaxy. We must use telescopes to explore further. In this book, we will start from the ancient astronomers and how they studied the motion of earth through space. Study of planetary orbits, from Kepler and Newton to Einstein, had been fascinating. We will try to take the reader through the wonderful worlds of the cepheid variables and pulsars to the strange oscillations of the neutrinos and the new eye to look at the universe, namely the gravitational waves. The book stops at the discovery of the black hole at the center of our galaxy, but that is just because we must stop somewhere, or the assortment could go on ad infinitum. Some of these topics are highly mathematical in nature, but we will try to avoid the complicated mathematics as much as possible, without compromising with the rigor |

| Title | Modern Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics : A Comprehensive Foundation |
| Author(s) | Puri, Ravinder R |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XVI, 399 p. 36 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This undergraduate-level textbook offers a unique and in-depth approach to the study of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. It covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics using both traditional and postulatory approaches, including origin of the concept of thermodynamic entropy, Euler???s equation, Gibbs-Duhem relations, stability of equilibrium, and the concept of thermodynamic potentials, and that of independent thermodynamic observables. The book then delves into the microscopic foundation of thermodynamics, starting with the kinetic theory and highlighting its historical development. Boltzmann's concept of entropy is explored, along with its applications in deriving Planck???s, Bose???s, Bose-Einstein, and Fermi-Dirac distribution functions. The formal structure of classical and quantum statistical mechanics is built based on the concept of statistical entropy and the maximum entropy principle and used to investigate in detail the thermodynamic properties of ideal classical and quantum systems. The book also covers phase transitions, simple theory of critical phenomena, and the theory of interacting van der Waals gases. Throughout the text, the book provides historical context, enriching the reader's understanding. This textbook is a valuable resource for undergraduate physics students, offering comprehensive coverage, including overlooked topics, and a historical perspective on thermodynamics and statistical mechanics |

| Title | Multidimensional Periodic Schr??dinger Operator : Perturbation Theories for High Energy Regions and Their Applications |
| Author(s) | Veliev, Oktay |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2024. |
| Description | XIII, 411 p. 1 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book describes the direct and inverse problems of the multidimensional Schr??dinger operator with a periodic potential, a topic that is especially important in perturbation theory, constructive determination of spectral invariants and finding the periodic potential from the given Bloch eigenvalues. It provides a detailed derivation of the asymptotic formulas for Bloch eigenvalues and Bloch functions in arbitrary dimensions while constructing and estimating the measure of the iso-energetic surfaces in the high-energy regime. Moreover, it presents a unique method proving the validity of the Bethe???Sommerfeld conjecture for arbitrary dimensions and arbitrary lattices. Using the perturbation theory constructed, it determines the spectral invariants of the multidimensional operator from the given Bloch eigenvalues. Some of these invariants are explicitly expressed by the Fourier coefficients of the potential, making it possible to determine the potential constructively using Bloch eigenvalues as input data. Lastly, the book presents an algorithm for the unique determination of the potential. This updated and significantly expanded third edition features an extension of this framework to all dimensions, offering a now complete theory of self-adjoint Schr??dinger operators within periodic potentials. Drawing from recent advancements in mathematical analysis, this edition delves even deeper into the intricacies of the subject. It explores the connections between the multidimensional Schr??dinger operator, periodic potentials, and other fundamental areas of mathematical physics. The book's comprehensive approach equips both students and researchers with the tools to tackle complex problems and contribute to the ongoing exploration of quantum phenomena |

| Title | On the Wave Nature of Matter : A New Approach to Reconciling Quantum Mechanics and Relativity |
| Author(s) | Chang, Donald C |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XXI, 340 p. 99 illus., 80 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a new approach to understanding the foundation of quantum physics through the "quantum wave model" hypothesis. It addresses some of the key challenges in the current quantum theory, including the conflict between quantum mechanics and relativity, and offers a comprehensive solution to many of the existing mysteries in the field. By proposing that the vacuum is a dielectric medium and quantum particles are quantized excitation waves of the vacuum, the book provides a clear physical interpretation of wave-particle duality and explains the physical basis of energy, momentum, and mass. With topics ranging from the physical foundation of quantum mechanics to the derivation of the quantum wave equations and the resolution of the conflict between quantum physics and relativity, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the most pressing issues in the field. Written at a level accessible to undergraduate students and senior researcher scientists alike, this book offers a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics and its fundamental role in shaping our understanding of the physical world |

| Title | On the Emergence of Time and Space in Closed Quantum Systems |
| Author(s) | Favalli, Tommaso |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XXI, 163 p. 8 illus., 6 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Time, space and entanglement are the main characters in this book. Their nature is still a great mystery in physics and we study here the possibility that these three phenomena are closely connected, showing how entanglement can be at the basis of the emergence of time and space within closed quantum systems. We revisit and extend the Page and Wootters theory that was originally introduced in order to describe the emergence of time through entanglement between subsystems in a globally static, quantum Universe. In the book, after providing a complete review of the salient aspects of the theory, we establish a connection with recent research on the foundations of statistical mechanics and we provide a new understanding of the thermalization process. Furthermore, we generalize the framework in order describe the spatial degree of freedom and we provide a model of 3+1 dimensional, quantum spacetime emerging from entanglement among different subsystems in a globally "timeless" and "positionless" Universe. Finally, via the Page and Wootters theory, the evolution of quantum clocks within a gravitational field is treated and a time dilation effect is obtained in agreement with the Schwarzschild solution |

| Title | Quantum Impurity Problems in the Framework of Natural Orbitals : A Comprehensive Study |
| Author(s) | Debertolis, Maxime |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XV, 165 p. 48 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a complete study of natural orbitals in quantum impurity problems, revealing a certain simplicity in these interacting many-body problems. These systems consist of a few localized degrees of freedom that undergo strong interactions and hybridize with a larger system of free particles; they are central in the study of strongly correlated systems. In a first step, the standard non-perturbative numerical renormalization group method is employed to demonstrate the hierarchical structure of correlations unveiled by natural orbitals. This simplification brought new insights for simulating quantum impurity problems, and a new algorithm is developed to generate an optimized subset of natural orbitals independently of existing methods, going beyond their usual limitations. This algorithm is presented in detail in the book, and a careful benchmark on known results is carried out to guarantee the validity of the method. It is then used to study spatialentanglement structures under various conditions that were not accessible with previous methods, such as representing the electron bath by a realistic 2D square lattice or taking account of static disorder in the metallic host. In the last chapter, the non-interacting problem in the presence of disorder is studied through random matrix theory, reproducing some of the results presented in the previous chapters. The main original result of this chapter lies in the analytical calculation of the joint distribution of one-particle orbitals energies and amplitudes of the impurity, which makes it possible to calculate any disordered averaged local correlation functions. Starting from this result, calculations in the large-N limit are compared with numerical simulations |

| Title | Quantum Machine Learning : Thinking and Exploration in Neural Network Models for Quantum Science and Quantum Computing |
| Author(s) | Conti, Claudio |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2024. |
| Description | XXIII, 378 p. 109 illus., 66 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a new way of thinking about quantum mechanics and machine learning by merging the two. Quantum mechanics and machine learning may seem theoretically disparate, but their link becomes clear through the density matrix operator which can be readily approximated by neural network models, permitting a formulation of quantum physics in which physical observables can be computed via neural networks. As well as demonstrating the natural affinity of quantum physics and machine learning, this viewpoint opens rich possibilities in terms of computation, efficient hardware, and scalability. One can also obtain trainable models to optimize applications and fine-tune theories, such as approximation of the ground state in many body systems, and boosting quantum circuits??? performance. The book begins with the introduction of programming tools and basic concepts of machine learning, with necessary background material from quantum mechanics and quantum information also provided. This enables the basic building blocks, neural network models for vacuum states, to be introduced. The highlights that follow include: non-classical state representations, with squeezers and beam splitters used to implement the primary layers for quantum computing; boson sampling with neural network models; an overview of available quantum computing platforms, their models, and their programming; and neural network models as a variational ansatz for many-body Hamiltonian ground states with applications to Ising machines and solitons. The book emphasizes coding, with many open source examples in Python and TensorFlow, while MATLAB and Mathematica routines clarify and validate proofs. This book is essential reading for graduate students and researchers who want to develop both the requisite physics and coding knowledge to understand the rich interplay of quantum mechanics and machine learning |
