About

Charis Anastopoulos

My research spans several fascinating areas in theoretical physics:

Theoretical Gravity: Thermodynamics of gravitational systems and black holes, quantum phenomena in non-inertial reference frames, the effect of gravitational fields on quantum systems.

Foundations of Quantum Theory: The role of time in quantum theory, quantum measurement theory in field theory, quantum correlations, the emergence of irreversibility and macroscopic behavior in quantum systems.

Quantum Information: Open quantum systems, dynamics of entanglement, quantum information in relativistic systems.

Quantum Theory

A Foundational Approach

What readers say

“Anchored in foundational principles and mathematics, and garnished with historical and philosophical insight, Dr. Anastopoulos presents a comprehensive view of quantum mechanics. Coupled with an engaging and clear style, this text is appealing at the advanced undergraduate level, graduate level, and beyond.”

Dr Kevin Kelley, Brigham Young University

“Written in an engaging style, this textbook is a lucid addition to the scientific catalogue on quantum theory. Its notable strengths are the coverage of contemporary topics, the mathematical rigour in traditional topics, and the careful explanations of subtle topics.”

Dr Andrew Akeroyd

University of Southampton

“Introductory textbooks on quantum mechanics tend to restrict much of their attention to systems with finite-dimensional state spaces and thereby miss important issues related to unbounded operators and domain questions. Books with adequate coverage of those topics often presuppose ample mathematical proficiency. One virtue of the approach taken by Anastopoulos is to introduce a broader readership to matters of this kind.”

“Quantum Theory by Charis Anastopoulos is a beautiful, well-written book that explores the foun- dations of quantum theory in a clear, thorough, and elegant way. I expect that Quantum Theory will become an important text that will serve a broad audience. In particular, it will take a special place that introduces undergraduates to the ideas of quantum theory while providing them with an accessible path to all the wonderful topics that they will want to pursue later—as an undergraduate researcher, a graduate student, or to come back to for fun. It will certainly become a “go-to” book.”
