It starts with elementary quantum theory and classical electrodynamics and progresses to more advanced approaches. A critical comparison is made between these different, although equivalent, formulations of quantum electrodynamics. Using this format, the reader is offered a gradual, yet flexible introduction to quantum electrodynamics, avoiding formal discussions and excessive shortcuts. Complementing each chapter are numerous examples and exercises that can be used independently from the rest of the book to extend each chapter in many disciplines depending on the interests and needs of the reader. |

| Publisher Description: Ein Buch fÃ1/4r fortgeschrittene Anfänger auf dem Gebiet der quantentheoretischen Elektrodynamik. Zunächst wird die elementare Quantentheorie und klassische Elektrodynamik behandelt, dann die Theorie niederenergetischer Wechselwirkungen zwischen Materie und Strahlung und abschließend der mathematische Aspekt dieses Themas. Der Autor vermittelt notwendiges Grundwissen Ã1/4ber die Dynamik des elektromagnetischen Feldes und liefert verschiedene theoretische Ansätze. Damit schließt dieses Buch nun eine LÃ1/4cke, denn die Literatur fÃ1/4r Laseroptik und Feldtheorie hatte das Thema bisher nur gestreift. (10/97) |
