Photons and Atoms: Introduction to Quantum Electrodynamics by Claude Cohen-Tannoudji (PDF)

Description

Photons and Atoms Photons and Atoms: Introduction to Quantum Electrodynamics provides the necessary background to understand the various physical processes associated with photon-atom interactions. 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.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐It came really fast! This text is brand new despite the fact that it was sold as used! Excellent price for an excellent book in the super pedagogical Cohen Tannoudji style! I would definitely buy again from this seller!

⭐quality is better than I expected, arrive in 5 days

⭐It is a good book and very informative. However, it lacks examples and applications to the theory. In addition, the nomenclature of formulae is not clear in many parts of the text and you need to guess intermediate steps. Also, the appendices are necessary to understand the text and should be in the middle of the text. In summary, it could be much more pedagogical.

⭐The subjects are laied out according to logical progression with rich exercises which are quite helpful to review my own understanding. However some subjects treated as complinent shoud be a part of the main text in my opinion, since I must have left the main text some time to read through the compliment.

⭐ok

⭐It’s an amazing book
