This two-volume set, naturally divided into two semester parts, contains a full modern graduate course in quantum physics. The idea is to teach graduate students how to practically use quantum theory by presenting the fundamental knowledge and gradually moving on to broad applications, including atomic, nuclear, relativistic and many-body physics, as well as subfields of current interest, such as quantum chaos and quantum entanglement. The author discusses topics that are not usually covered in standard textbooks and has written the book in such a way that every subject contains varying layers of difficulty, so that the instructor can decide where to stop. Problems and solutions are integrated throughout the text. From the contents of Volume 2: Non-stationary Perturbations Periodic Perturbations Scattering of Fast Charged Particles Photons Photoabsorytion and Photo-emission Dispersion and Scattering of Light Basics of Quantum Scattering Method of Partial Waves More about Scattering Reactions, Decays and Resonances Towards Relativistic Quantum Mechanics Dirac Equation: Formalism Dirac Equation: Solutions Discrete Symmetries, Neutrino and Kaons Identical Particles Isospin Secondary Quantization Atomic and Nuclear Configurations Fermions Collective Excitations Bosons Fermion Pairing and Superconductivity Density Matrix Quantum Chaos Quantum Entanglement
