Earth's Core: Geophysics of a Planet's Deepest Interior?provides a?multidisciplinary approach to?Earth's core, including?seismology, mineral physics, geomagnetism, and geodynamics.?The book?examines?current?observations, experiments,?and?theories;?identifies outstanding research questions;?and?suggests future directions for study.?

With topics ranging from the structure of the core-mantle boundary region, to the chemical and physical properties of the core, the workings of the?geodynamo, inner core seismology and dynamics, and core formation,?this?book?offers a multidisciplinary perspective?on what we know and what we know?we have yet to discover.?The book begins with?the?fundamental material and concepts in seismology, mineral physics,?geomagnetism,?and geodynamics, accessible?from?a wide range of backgrounds. The book then builds on this foundation?to introduce current research, including observations, experiments, and theories. By identifying unsolved problems and promising routes to their solutions, the book is intended to motivate further research, making it a valuable resource?both?for students entering Earth and planetary sciences and for researchers in a particular subdiscipline who need to broaden their understanding.

Includes multidisciplinary observations constraining the composition and dynamics of the Earth's core Concisely presents competing theories and arguments on the composition, state, and dynamics of the Earth's interior Provides observational tests of various theories to enhance understanding Serves as a valuable resource for researchers in deep earth geophysics, as well as many sub-disciplines, including seismology, geodynamics, geomagnetism, and mineral physics

An Introduction to Quantum Physics: From Schrodinger's Equation to Quantum Computing focuses on the Schrodinger equation and its application to the hydrogen atom while also exploring other idealized but important quantum mechanical problems, such as the infinite square well and the harmonic oscillator to build students’ physical intuition. The text assumes only calculus-based introductory physics, but helps students understand the origin of the periodic table and the electronic structure of atoms in a deeper way. In addition, it enables users to make connections with concepts in linear algebra, a course that many students have recently taken or may be taking concurrently.For a student’s first exposure to quantum mechanics, the book offers a unique concentration on locality, entanglement, Bell’s theorem, and quantum gates. This valuable first edition delivers engaging explanations and illustrative examples for both classic problems solved by quantum mechanics and new ones that form the basis for quantum computing.Explores foundational quantum physics and its application across various fieldsStrikes a balance between the breadth and the depth of the material presentedHelps students make connections between physics, chemistry, mathematics, and linear algebra, among other fieldsIncludes numerous figures and examples, illustrating important physics concepts conveyed in the textOffers online support, including a solutions manual for instructors
