The publication supplies an advent to the sector quantization (second quantization) of sunshine and topic with purposes to atomic physics. the 1st bankruptcy in brief reports the origins of specified relativity and quantum mechanics and the fundamental notions of quantum details concept and quantum statistical mechanics. the second one bankruptcy is dedicated to the second one quantization of the electromagnetic box, whereas the 3rd bankruptcy exhibits the results of the sunshine box quantization within the description of electromagnetic transitions. within the fourth bankruptcy it really is analyzed the spin of the electron, and particularly its derivation from the Dirac equation, whereas the 5th bankruptcy investigates the results of exterior electrical and magnetic fields at the atomic spectra (Stark and Zeeman effects). The 6th bankruptcy describes the houses of structures composed through many interacting exact debris through introducing the Hartree-Fock variational approach, the density useful concept and the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. ultimately, within the 7th bankruptcy it really is defined the second one quantization of the non-relativistic subject box, i.e. the Schrodinger box, which supplies a robust device for the research of many-body difficulties and likewise atomic quantum optics. on the finish of every bankruptcy there are a number of solved difficulties that can aid the scholars to place into perform the issues they learned.

In der Quantentheorie werden Observable durch Operatoren im Hilbert-Raum dargestellt. Der dafür geeignete mathematische Rahmen sind die Cx - Algebren, welche Matrizen und komplexe Funktionen verallgemeinern. Allerdings benötigt guy in der Physik auch unbeschränkte Operatoren, deren Problematik eigens untersucht werden muß.

This is the so-called Fermi golden rule, derived in 1926 by Paul Dirac on the basis of the first order time-dependent perturbation theory, and named “golden rule” few years later by Enrico Fermi.
