In this particular case, however, any such concern can be put aside.

abstract: This textbook is intended to be used for students who have been through substantial treatments of elementary differential and integral calculus and elementary level of classical physics. Various phenomena of early quantum physics, basic core of quantum mechanics and its application to one and two electron atoms, multielectron atoms, quantum statistics and nuclei are discussed.

abstract: From the standpoint of a rigid systematical approach, a discussion of the atomistic structure of matter should begin with a discussion of the elementary particles and atomic nuclei. Then atomic physics in its more restricted sense, molecular physics, and physics of the solid state would logically be built up on the theory of the structure of atomic nuclei. In presenting Bohr's pictorial atomic physics first, we have followed the historical development and, at the same time, had the advantage of proceeding from the simpler to the more difficult. Historically, up to about 1927, the first field to be studied and explained was physics of the atomic shells. Then further development led, on the one hand, to a theory of molecules which are composed of a number of atoms as well as to a theory of larger atomic complexes (liquids and solids) and, on the other hand, to nuclear physics. For this development, it was necessary to have the knowledge of Bohr's atomic theory and its quantum mechanical refinements which we discussed in the last chapter. The same applies to our presentation in this book. Energy states and the transitions between them, accompanied by radiation, occur in the nucleus (though with correspondingly larger amounts of energy) just as in the electron shells of the atom. It is impossible to understand essential processes such as the decay of nuclei or the exchange forces which cause the bond between the nuclear constituents without a knowledge of quantum mechanics. It thus seems reasonable, both from the standpoint of an intelligible introduction as well as from that of the actual development of our science, to discuss nuclear physics at this point.

abstract: We report on specific actions undertaken to promote active learning in an introductory course on quantum physics that presented the following challenges: (1) quantum ideas surprise and contradict common sense beliefs and background knowledge; (2) it is hard to study the interactions of matter and radiation with an appropriate balance of the phenomenology and the formalism; (3) nowadays understanding a huge diversity of systems such as atoms, molecules, solids, nuclei and particles has attained extraordinary results but also addresses very difficult questions, and (4) modern physics can be studied from very different perspectives: the mathematical treatment, the history and epistemology of the evolution of concepts, models and theories, as well as the interconnections between the experimental devices and procedures, the representation of measurement of strange properties, their important technological applications, and the implications of the scientific enterprise in economic, social, political, environmental and cultural aspects. As a reaction to traditional teaching, we focused on the following objectives: to promote and ensure active learning, to prepare and make available appropriate learning materials, and to assess the student performance with a rewarding but strict system. We implemented a teaching strategy that changed the role of the teacher from a transmitter of information to a guide of learning actions. In order to support such a strategy we created an integrated system for active learning containing the following components: The syllabus, the calendar, the notes, the home works, the questionnaires, the tests, the web page, the presentations, and the assessment criteria. Our teaching strategy worked in the direction of "less quantity and better quality" looking for the application of four pedagogic principles: to make thinking visible, to make knowledge accessible, to help one each other learning, and to learn all the time. We evaluated the success of our support system by analyzing how the students reacted to different components of that support system in the context of the four pedagogical principles into consideration.

abstract: Quantum mechanics is arguably the most successful quantitative theory of nature. The theory is now 80 years old, and no violation of quantum mechanics has ever been detected in any laboratory despite a huge number of experimental tests involving light, atoms, molecules, and solids, as well as nuclei, electrons, and other subatomic particles. In fact, various experimental tests of quantum electrodynamics have achieved an astonishing agreement between measurement and quantum theory on the order of one part in a billion. Not only is our modern intellectual description of reality entirely quantum mechanical in nature, our modern

abstract: Due to the zero (or at least up to now immeasurably small) rest mass of the photon, electrodynamics, the theory of time dependent electromagnetic fields, is an intrinsically relativistic theory and, as is well known, had served as the prototype of relativistic physics. Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the relativistic quantum theory of electrically charged particles, mutually interacting by exchange of photons. If this system is additionally subject to a (static) external field, an inhomogeneous situation is obtained to which density functional theory may apply. The standard situation is again that of electrons (and possibly appearing positrons) moving in the adiabatic field produced by nuclei in atoms, molecules or solids. Since we will focus on that situation, in our context the particle field will exclusively be the electron positron field.
