Topics in Quantum Physics

Luís Gustavo Marcassa, Vanderlei Salvador Bagnato, Kristian Helmerson

This volume will provide a nice overview for state of the art atomic physics. The topics and advances are put forth in a clear and concise manner, described by the leading scientists in the field. The conference included a special Nobel symposium covering key topics and directions in atomic physics. Other general topics covered include spectroscopy, time measurement/atomic clocks, cooling and trapping, quantum control, and quantum information. Additional specific topics include antihydrogen experiments and applications of atomic physics to biology and medicine.

Many authors outlined the students' difficulties in the conceptual understanding of quantum physics. One of the major problems is that students find the mathematical language used to describe these systems (that cannot be seen) generally too obscure. A lot of research has been done to use computer visualizations of quantum mechanical topics and it proved to be a powerful and flexible tool, allowing to see through the mathematics. In this work it is shown how the use of different visualizations regarding bound states (and in particular the hydrogen atom) may be useful to foster a deeper understanding of topics of very general interest for the study of quantum physics.
