This book plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamics of quantum systems, exploring how group velocity shapes the behavior of electrons, photons, and other quantum entities while challenging classical perspectives on atomic orbitals and solid-state physics.

In conventional treatments, atomic orbitals are constructed from plane waves with fixed energies, disregarding the role of group velocity. But what happens when group velocity is considered? Incorporating group velocity leads to unexpected results: electron waves disperse, atomic structures grow unrealistically large, and familiar models of the hydrogen atom require rethinking. This analysis reveals how group velocity introduces forces that demand new physics to reconcile.

Beyond atomic orbitals, the influence of group velocity extends to solid-state physics, shaping electron transport, superconductivity, and lattice dynamics. In optics, it governs photon propagation and optical emissions, while in high-energy physics, it plays a crucial role in determining scattering cross-sections. Applications also span Fermi liquid theory and the behavior of electrons in magnetic fields, offering a unified framework that bridges diverse areas of modern physics.

Serving as a compelling resource for researchers, students, and enthusiasts of quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, and optical sciences, this work provides a fresh perspective on the interplay between wave dynamics and the physical world.

Navin Khaneja holds a B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kanpur (1994), an M.A. and M.Sc. in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis (1997), and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University in 2000. Distinguished by prestigious accolades including the NSF Career Award, the Sloan Fellowship, and the Bessel Prize of the Humboldt Foundation, his scholarly pursuits traverse the domains of control theory and NMR spectroscopy. With a prolific output, he has authored nearly 90 journal papers, contributing significantly to the advancement of his fields of expertise.
