Enge Wang is President Emeritus of Peking University, Honorary Director of Kavli Institute of Theoretical Sciences, and a Chair Professor of Physics. He is renowned for his research on full quantum effects in light-element materials. A member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society, Wang has been honoured with a series of awards, including the Tan Kah Kee Science Award in Mathematics and Physics, the Humboldt Research Award, and the TWAS Award in Physics. He has co-authored over 350 papers, edited and been a member of editorial boards of over 10 international journals, and co-authored two books: Computer Simulations of Molecules and Condensed Matter: From Electronic Structures to Molecular Dynamics (World Scientific, 2018), and Water: Basic Science (Springer, 2023).
'This book fills a critical gap in condensed matter physics by addressing the inevitable shift beyond the Born–Oppenheimer approximation – a timely endeavor as simulations increasingly approach experimental and realistic precision. Grounded in the Schrödinger equation, it rigorously explores electron–nuclear coupling dynamics, focusing on overlooked phenomena: The diminished applicability of the Born–Oppenheimer approximation in nuclear quantum effects and its complete inapplicability in nonadiabatic scenarios. Integrating cutting-edge quantum theories and experimental findings, the book can serve undergraduates, graduates, researchers, and industry pros across physics, materials science, energy science, and more – guiding accurate material property studies and cross-disciplinary applications. A pivotal, far-reaching work for the field.' Fuchun Zhang, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences 'A concise and authoritative introduction to nuclear quantum and nonadiabatic effects in condensed matter physics, ideal for students and researchers alike. This book provides a timely and comprehensive introduction to full quantum effects in condensed matter systems, offering graduate students and researchers an invaluable resource to understand nuclear quantum and nonadiabatic effects that go beyond the Born–Oppenheimer approximation.' Angel Rubio, Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, and Initiative for Computational Catalysis at the Flatiron Institute 'This book tackles the interesting and important question of quantum effects in condensed matter. It explains the underlying principles and approaches used to understand these effects. Then it brings the importance of these effects to life through numerous fascinating demonstrations of quantum effects in physics, materials, chemistry, and more. This veritable treasure trove of applications also showcases the almost symbiotic relationship there is in this field between state-of-the-arts experiment, theory, and simulation. I can see readers at various stages of advancement benefitting from this book.' Angelos Michaelides, University of Cambridge
