Dive into the realm of quantum mechanics with the hardcover edition (2004) of "Introductory Applied Quantum and Statistical Mechanics" authored by Peter L. Hagelstein, Stephen D. Senturia, and Terry P. Orlando. This copy is in VG+ condition, showcasing covers that maintain their great shape, sharp corners, and only a hint of shelf wear. The binding is square and tight, while the interior pages are clean and unmarked, offering an excellent reading experience.The book, developed from an introductory graduate course at MIT, takes a unique approach by viewing quantum mechanics from the perspective of an electrical engineer or materials scientist. Quantum mechanics, a vital component in the study and design of semiconductor devices, is explored with a focus on real-world applications. The latest electronic and photonic devices, including quantum computing, underscore the engineering importance of this subject."Introductory Applied Quantum and Statistical Mechanics" serves as both a reference for practitioners and a text for learners, introducing fundamental quantum physics concepts and their practical applications in electrical engineering, applied physics, and materials science. The book is structured to showcase how these laws enable the design and construction of new and improved devices. Real-world systems and applications support theoretical results, and mastery of the material is facilitated by worked examples and self-study questions.For those seeking to apply the principles of quantum mechanics to develop practical technical solutions, this book is a valuable resource. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the subject, making it an essential tool for engineers, researchers, and students alike. If you're interested in delving into the fascinating world of applied quantum mechanics, don't hesitate to contact us for more information or pictures regarding this insightful volume. The book will be carefully packaged for shipment, and a USPS electronic tracking number will be issued free of charge to ensure its safe arrival.…

About the Author
Stephen D. Senturia joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at M.I.T. immediately after completing his education (MIT, Ph.D. in Physics, 1966), initially as Research Scientist, then as Assistant Professor in 1967, with subsequent promotions up the ranks. From 1992 to 2002, he held the Barton L. Weller Chair in Electrical Engineering. He has been involved in microsensor and MEMS research since the early 1970’s. For a number of years, his research focused on developing material-property measurement methods and CAD tools for MEMS. The work on MEMCAD led to the spin-out from his group of the two companies that lead this commercial field: IntelliSense and Coventor.He serves as Senior Editor of the ASME/IEEE Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems. After officially retiring from MIT in June, 2002, Dr. Senturia now has part-time duties at MIT and serves as Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Polychromix, Inc., Woburn, MA, a company he founded to adapt the Polychromator technology for commercial use. Honor and professional societies include the IEEE (Fellow), Phi Beta Kappa, and Sigma Xi.
Terry P. Orlando is a Professor at the Research Laboratory of Electronics at M.I.T. His research focuses on superconducting circuits for quantum computation and nonlinear dynamics.

Store description
Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.…
