"The physical technologies we need for major societal goals, from solar energy to the ways we sense, move, store and process information and design modern materials and devices, are based on ideas and concepts beyond the world of classical physics. A purely classical view gives us no model for the atoms and molecules of chemistry or of material properties such as color or electrical conductivity. We cannot understand the simplest solar cell or even the color and brightness of the sun. To move forward, we need core ideas from quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, but introducing them often requires multiple courses and textbooks, creating a barrier for a broad range of engineers and scientists to learn these central and powerful ideas. This book introduces all these topics, economically yet rigorously, in one coherent approach suitable for engineers and scientists from a broad range of disciplines. It is well suited both for classroom use and individual study. A large number of quiz questions and problems and solutions are provided. Openly available online lectures are carefully sequenced and linked with the entire main text"--Page 4 of cover
