Emphasis on the key principles with minimal mathematical formalism
Demystifying discussions of the basic features of quantum systems, using dimensional analysis and order-of-magnitude estimates to develop intuition
Comprehensive overview of the key concepts of quantum chemistry and the electronic structure of solids
Extensive discussion of the basic processes and applications of light-matter interactions
Online supplement with advanced theory, multiple-choice quizzes, etc.
