The textbook concludes with a careful treatment of the scope and limitations of relativistic quantum mechanics, as well as a thorough examination of symmetries in relativistic quantum theory.

Numerous mathematical digressions elucidate general mathematical concepts. Particular highlights of the book are a detailed discussion of the Lamb shift and the Casimir effect, including the issues of renormalisation that arise in this context, as well as the analysis of the single-particle interpretation in relativistic quantum mechanics and the examination of group contractions in the transition from relativistic to non-relativistic symmetry groups and their representations.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e1.°Quantization of the electromagnetic field - 2.°Relativistic quantum mechanics - 3.°Symmetries in quantum mechanics II\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget group:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is aimed at both undergraduate and graduate students and their instructors.

He then worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, working on Yang–Mills theories and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In his doctoral thesis he investigated vortex condensation and quark confinement in lattice Yang–Mills theories in centre projection. His subsequent professional career led him into the area of high-performance computing and its numerous scientific and industrial applications. However, his passion remains theoretical physics and its mathematical methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Berlin Heidelberg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783662742594\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691699732620,"sku":"9783662742594","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783662742594","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
