Quantum physics for scientists and technologists: quantum physics for biologists, chemists, computer scientists and nanotechnologists

Self contained, cohesive, concise, yet comprehensive story of quantum physicsfrom the fields of science and technology including computer science, biology, chemistry and nanotechnology. Tables and diagrams are used (with full explanations) as a visual aid to present data and explain concepts with some mathematical equations and derivations. Minimum (and only necessary) math will be used and the emphasis will be on explaining the concepts and phenomena in a practical fashion. This book provides examples from and references to computer science, biology, chemistry and nanotechnology throughout the book. No prior knowledge of quantum physics is assumed and the material is presented in logical learning sequence: a section builds upon previous sections and a chapter on previous chapters. All concepts, simple and complex, are defined and explained when they appear for the first time.Paul Sanghera is an educator, scientist, technologist, and an entrepreneur living in Silicon Valley, California. With a masters degree in computer science from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in Physics from Carleton University he hasworked at CERN laboratories in Europe and the Nuclear lab at Cornell and participated in designing and conducting experiments to test the quantum theories.In computer science, Dr. Sanghera has contributed to building the world technologies such as Netscape Communicator and Novell's NDS. Currently an adjunct faculty at HNU, Oakland, Ca and he has been a lecturer at San José State University and Brooks college. He is the author of several best selling books in thefield of technology and project management as well as published over 100 research papers on the quantum theories of fundamental particles of matter in reputed European and American research journals.
