The answer lies in the unifying concept of quantum fluids, which allows us to understand the behavior and properties of these different systems in simple terms. This book reveals how quantum mechanics, usually considered as restricted to the invisible microscopic world, in fact plays a crucial role at all scales of the universe. The purpose of the book is to introduce the reader to the fascinating and multifaceted world of quantum fluids, which covers different systems at different scales in the physical world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first part of the book discusses the notion of phases (solid, liquid, gas), presents basic aspects of the structure of matter and quantum mechanics, and includes some elements of statistical mechanics. The second part provides a description of the major quantum liquids, starting with the paramount case of electron fluids and their many applications in everyday life, followed by liquid helium and atomic nuclei. The authors go on to explore matter at very high densities, covering nuclear matter and compact stars, and the behavior of matter at extremely low temperatures, with the fascinating 'superphases' of superconductivity and superfluidity. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe topic of quantum fluids has multidisciplinary applications and this book will appeal to students and researchers in physics, chemistry, astrophysics, engineering and materials science. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhuong Mai Dinh\u003c\/strong\u003e, Laboratoire de Physique Théorique de Toulouse, Université Paul Sabatier, CNRS, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJesús Navarro\u003c\/strong\u003e, Instituto de Física Corpuscular, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, University of Valencia, Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÉric Suraud, \u003c\/strong\u003e Laboratoire de Physique Théorique de Toulouse, Université Paul Sabatier, CNRS, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 19, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42703771861055,"sku":"9781498721639","price":198.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/2105546fc72623c359112de1599b12b2.webp?v=1765030674","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-quantum-fluids-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
