GATE Mechanical Engineering is designed for candidates preparing for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). This examination is conducted across the country by the IITs and IISc and it focuses on engineering and science subjects. On the basis of the GATE Score, the higher educational institutes offer admission for M.Tech and Ph.D. programs. The GATE Score is also used by Public Sector units like ONGC, NTPC, ISRO, BHEL, DRDO, IOCL, NHPC and others to recruit entry-level engineers. The book is a valuable resource for the students who wish to achieve success in the GATE, and want to succeed in academic and employment pursuits. This book is based on the latest syllabus of GATE. It is divided into 17 chapters and each chapter contains key concepts and formulas, solved examples, previous years' GATE questions, and practice paper with solutions. KEY FEATURES • Key concepts and formulas to facilitate quick revision of the important points in each chapter. • Practice papers to self-assess are available at https://www.phindia.com/DP_Sharma_GATE_ME/ • More than 2100 problems with solutions to develop problem-solving skills. • More than 1500 diagrams for easy understanding of the concepts which make the reading more fruitful. • Most of the questions are from previous years' GATE and IES exam papers. • Multiple choice questions help students to assess their learning. • Lucid presentation of solutions of practice papers to improve on the areas that need improvements. TARGET AUDIENCE • GATE examination (Mechanical Engineering) • PSUs examinations (Mechanical Engineering) • IES examination (Mechanical Engineering) • BE/B.Tech (Mechanical Engineering)

Although there are many textbooks that deal with the formal apparatus of quantum mechanics (QM) and its application to standard problems, none take into account the developments in the foundations of the subject which have taken place in the last few decades. There are specialized treatises on various aspects of the foundations of QM, but none that integrate those topics with the standard material. This book aims to remove that unfortunate dichotomy, which has divorced the practical aspects of the subject from the interpretation and broader implications of the theory.In this edition a new chapter on quantum information is added. As the topic is still in a state of rapid development, a comprehensive treatment is not feasible. The emphasis is on the fundamental principles and some key applications, including quantum cryptography, teleportation of states, and quantum computing. The impact of quantum information theory on the foundations of quantum mechanics is discussed. In addition, there are minor revisions to several chapters.The book is intended primarily as a graduate level textbook, but it will also be of interest to physicists and philosophers who study the foundations of QM. Parts of it can be used by senior undergraduates too.
