Quantum physics may appear complicated

especially if one forgets the "big picture" and gets lost in the details. However, it can become clearer and less tangled if one applies a few fundamental concepts so that simplified approaches can emerge and estimated orders of magnitude become clear.

Povh and Rosina’s Scattering and Structures

presents the properties of quantum systems (elementary particles, nucleons, atoms, molecules, quantum gases, quantum liquids, stars, and early universe) with the help of elementary concepts and analogies between these seemingly different systems.

In this new edition, sections on quantum gases and an up to date overview of elementary particles have been added.
