Optoelectrical Sisyphus cooling.3 aModern physics is the branch of physics that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, revolutionizing our understanding of the fundamental laws governing the universe at both the smallest and largest scales. It encompasses quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. This book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, introducing them to the mysteries of modern physics. Throughout this book, we minimize the derivation of equations, allowing readers to develop intuitive understandings of these concepts. By shedding light on the unsolved mysteries of modern physics, we aim to reveal how the progress of experimental technology not only solves existing puzzles but also uncovers new ones.  aPhysics students, students in engineering and chemistry.  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.  aBorn and raised in Nagoya, Japan, Dr. Kajita graduated from the Department of Applied Physics, the University of Tokyo in 1981 and obtained his PhD from Department of Physics, the University of Tokyo in 1986. After working at the Institute for Molecular Science, he joined Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) in 1989. In 2004, the CRL was renamed the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). In 2009, he was guest professor at the Provence University, Marseille, France. In 2023, he retired from NICT and became the guest researcher in the University of Tokyo.0 aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on January 4, 2024). 0aPhysicsvTextbooks.996821 7aQuantum physics (quantum mechanics & quantum field theory)2bicssc 7aSCIENCE / Physics / Quantum Theory.2bisacsh2 aInstitute of Physics (Great Britain),epublisher.91770208iPrint version:z9780750362375z9780750362405 0aIOP (Series).pRelease 23. 0aIOP ebooks.p2023 collection.40uhttps://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-6239-9  cE-Books  c68447d68447
