Reviews
'As quantum effects increasingly take centre stage in chemistry, physics and materials research, it is important for researchers to have deep physical and mathematical understanding of quantum mechanics. This is a textbook for our times, with very clear explanations of both fundamental concepts and detailed extensions to a range of applications. Whether your scientific journey is from physics towards molecular sciences, from chemistry towards non-equilibrium physics, across the broad spectrum of activities that encompass nano-science or something in between, I am sure this book will be a welcome companion for your adventures.' Gemma C. Solomon, University of Copenhagen
'With its focus on real-world phenomena at the smallest scales, this truly interdisciplinary book opens the eyes of the reader to the significance of quantum theory in the natural sciences and beyond. With its many instructive illustrations and exercises the book serves as an introductory text for undergraduate students as well as a stepping stone for future practitioners at the forefront of present-day research on open and many-particle quantum systems. It also contains a lot of up-to-date material for any lecturer who wants to modernize their course.' Frank Grossmann, Technische Universitat Dresden
