Hi I am looking for some good solid state physics textbooks. Can anyone who has taken courses in solid state physics direct me to a good introductory book?

Thank you both for all your help. If I wanted to compose a table of cause and effect for quantum entanglement as in 'if I do this to A, that happens to B' in order to help myself better understand it, do you know some good papers by which these realtions are shown or by which I could infer...

what do you mean? Yes to the first and no to the second? or yes and no as in this is a fuzzy area or my question is not specific enough?

Is there a way to alter the spin of one particle once you have measured it? If so, would this in turn alter the spin of the corresponding entangled particle?

So if I were to measure the position on one particle and the momentum of the other, the measurement of the momentum at that point has no bearing on anything because the particles are no longer entangled? Why then, if I were to measure say the spin on one particle which was entangled, would I...

So after entangled particles are measured, they cease to be entangled and subsequent measurements have no bearing on each other? Am I understanding you correctly?

Heres what I am having trouble with. My understanding is that these spectral series correspond to energy levels of the hydrogen atom and that these levels are therefore necessarily quantized. However, as one series overlaps another series, the spectral lines of the previous series becomes...

What would happen if one had two entangled particles and performed a position measurement on one and a momentum measurement on the other? If one kept performing these measurements, perhaps first the position measurement on a particle A, then the momentum measurement on particle B, would the...

I do not understand the distinction between the Lyman, Balmer, Pascher series etc. I understand that you calculate the values in each series with the corresponding n' values but I don't understand the need for multiple series. Why can't you have one overarching series that covers the entire...

Hi, I have a question about the transfer of information at speeds faster than c. I have devised a thought experiment in order to express the logical problem I am having. Suppose you have a string of beads in a tube from here to alpha centauri where each bead in the tube touches the next...
