An Introduction to Advanced Quantum Physics presentsimportant concepts from classical mechanics, electricity andmagnetism, statistical physics, and quantum physics broughttogether to discuss the interaction of radiation and matter,selection rules, symmetries and conservation laws, scattering,relativistic quantum mechanics, apparent paradoxes, elementaryquantum field theory, electromagnetic and weak interactions, andmuch more.
This book consists of two parts:
Part 1 comprises the material suitable for a second course inquantum physics and covers:
* Electromagnetic Radiation and Matter
* Scattering
* Symmetries and Conservation Laws
* Relativistic Quantum Physics
* Special Topics
Part 2 presents elementary quantum field theory anddiscusses:
* Second Quantization of Spin 1/2 and Spin 1 Fields
* Covariant Perturbation Theory and Applications
* Quantum Electrodynamics
Each chapter concludes with problems to challenge thestudents' understanding of the material.
This text is intended for graduate and ambitious undergraduatestudents in physics, material sciences, and relateddisciplines.

"The material is intended for undergraduates who are planning totake up the study of elementary particle physics or condensedmatter. The problem section given at the end of each chapter is auseful addition for a better understanding of the subject."(Zentralblatt MATH, 2011)
