Abstract
In this first chapter and in the following one, the fundamentals of classical and quantum physics will be reviewed. Obviously, the purpose is not to provide an exhaustive (or even partial) treatment of these subjects: the readers are supposed to be already familiar with them. We simply intend to recall the main concepts and to define the symbols that will be used in the rest of the book. Many excellent textbooks have been written on classical and quantum physics. We may refer, for example, to Goldstein [168] and Jackson [202] for the former, and to Messiah [306], Schiff [398] or Greiner [172] for the latter.
