Download or read book Foundations And Interpretation Of Quantum Mechanics In The Light Of A Critical historical Analysis Of The Problems And Of A Synthesis Of The Results written by Gennaro Auletta and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000-06-15 with total page 1015 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is twofold: to provide a comprehensive account of the foundations of the theory and to outline a theoretical and philosophical interpretation suggested from the results of the last twenty years.There is a need to provide an account of the foundations of the theory because recent experience has largely confirmed the theory and offered a wealth of new discoveries and possibilities. On the other side, the following results have generated a new basis for discussing the problem of the interpretation: the new developments in measurement theory; the experimental generation of “Schrödinger cats”; recent developments which allow, for the first time, the simultaneous measurement of complementary observables; quantum information processing, teleportation and computation.To accomplish this task, the book combines historical, systematic and thematic approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relativistic celestial mechanics – investigating the motion celestial bodies under the influence of general relativity – is a major tool of modern experimental gravitational physics. With a wide range of prominent authors from the field, this two-volume series consists of reviews on a multitude of advanced topics in the area of relativistic celestial mechanics – starting from more classical topics such as the regime of asymptotically-flat spacetime, light propagation and celestial ephemerides, but also including its role in cosmology and alternative theories of gravity as well as modern experiments in this area. This second volume of a two-volume series covers applications of the theory as well as experimental verifications. From tools to determine light travel times in curved space-time to laser ranging between earth and moon and between satellites, and impacts on the definition of time scales and clock comparison techniques, a variety of effects is discussed. On the occasion of his 80-th birthday, these two volumes honor V. A. Brumberg – one of the pioneers in modern relativistic celestial mechanics. Contributions include: J. Simon, A.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Formalism of Quantum Information with Continuous Variables written by Carlos Navarrete-Benlloch and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum information is an emerging field which has attracted a lot of attention in the last couple of decades. It is a broad subject which extends from the most applied questions (e.g. how to build quantum computers or secure cryptographic systems) to the most theoretical problems concerning the formalism and interpretation of quantum mechanics, its complexity, and its potential to go beyond classical physics. This book is an introduction to quantum information with special emphasis on continuous-variable systems (such as light) which can be described as collections of harmonic oscillators. It covers a selection of basic concepts, focusing on their physical meaning and mathematical treatment. It starts from the very first principles of quantum mechanics, and builds up the concepts and techniques following a logical progression. This is an excellent reference for students with a full semester of standard quantum mechanics and researchers in closely related fields.

Download or read book Lectures on the Geometry of Numbers written by Carl Ludwig Siegel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Ludwig Siegel gave a course of lectures on the Geometry of Numbers at New York University during the academic year 1945-46, when there were hardly any books on the subject other than Minkowski's original one. This volume stems from Siegel's requirements of accuracy in detail, both in the text and in the illustrations, but involving no changes in the structure and style of the lectures as originally delivered. This book is an enticing introduction to Minkowski's great work. It also reveals the workings of a remarkable mind, such as Siegel's with its precision and power and aesthetic charm. It is of interest to the aspiring as well as the established mathematician, with its unique blend of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and analysis, and its easy readability.
Download or read book Foundations Of Quantum Mechanics The Historical Analysis And Open Questions written by Claudio Garola and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000-05-11 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a sample of the present research on the foundations of quantum mechanics and related topics by collecting the papers of the Italian scholars who attended the conference entitled “The Foundations of Quantum Mechanics — Historical Analysis and Open Questions” (Lecce, 1998). The perspective of the book is interdisciplinary, and hence philosophical, historical and technical papers are gathered together so as to allow the reader to compare different viewpoints and cultural approaches. Most of the papers confront, directly or indirectly, the objectivity problem, taking into account the positions of the founders of QM or more recent developments. More specifically, the technical papers in the book pay special attention to the interpretation of the experiments on Bell's inequalities and to decoherence theory, but topics on unsharp QM, the consistent-history approach, quantum probability and alternative theories are also discussed. Furthermore, a number of historical and philosophical papers are devoted to Planck's, Weyl's and Pauli's thought, but topics such as quantum ontology, predictivity of quantum laws, etc., are treated.
Download or read book Lectures on Celestial Mechanics written by Carl L. Siegel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1995-02-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book represents to a large extent the translation of the German "Vorlesungen über Himmelsmechanik" by C. L. Siegel. The demand for a new edition and for an English translation gave rise to the present volume which, however, goes beyond a mere translation. To take account of recent work in this field a number of sections have been added, especially in the third chapter which deals with the stability theory. Still, it has not been attempted to give a complete presentation of the subject, and the basic prganization of Siegel's original book has not been altered. The emphasis lies in the development of results and analytic methods which are based on the ideas of H. Poincare, G. D. Birkhoff, A. Liapunov and, as far as Chapter I is concerned, on the work of K. F. Sundman and C. L. Siegel. In recent years the measure-theoretical aspects of mechanics have been revitalized and have led to new results which will not be discussed here. In this connection we refer, in particular, to the interesting book by V. I. Arnold and A. Avez on "Problemes Ergodiques de la Mecanique Classique", which stresses the interaction of ergodic theory and mechanics. We list the points in which the present book differs from the German text. In the first chapter two sections on the tri pie collision in the three body problem have been added by C. L. Siegel.
Download or read book Quantum Mechanics written by Edward G. Steward and published by Imperial College Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book provides the reader with an explanation of the origin and establishment of quantum mechanics, with the mathematics in a digestible form, together with a descriptive survey of later developments up to the present day. The mathematical treatment closely follows the original treatment, but in modern terms, using uniform symbolism as much as possible and with simplifications (e.g. the use of one dimension instead of three) to avoid unnecessarily complicated-looking mathematics." "Containing an extensive bibliography and useful appendices as well as references to original works, reviews, and biographies, the reader is well-equipped to delve further into the subject. In addition to its importance for those studying physics, it is also valuable for those studying the history of science."--Jacket.

Book excerpt: This book is a collection of pioneering research that deals with quantum mechanics from the novel point of view, ranging from theoretical to applications. Quantum mechanics and its application is one of the very progressive fields that is currently governing our technology in industry and science. It has been a long time since Schrodinger, Born, Dirac, Klein-Gordon, Schwinger, Feynman, etc. had laid the foundations of quantum mechanics. There were recently some interesting theories that are not widely known that could shape our future of quantum mechanics and its application. A new understanding is brought that deserves to be promoted worldwide. The authors aim in this book to highlight these new issues and share them with researchers and educators who are highly involved in the foundation of quantum mechanics and its application.The book consists of twelve chapters involving theory, analysis and applications. Chapter One deals with some recent progress in the theory and analytical tools of quadratic optomechanical interactions, as one of the prominent domains of contemporary nonlinear quantum optics. Chapter Two introduces a new quantum mechanics that beautifully merges Schrodinger, Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations into a single quaternionic equation. The formulation of this quantum mechanics shares the one developed in Maxwell's theory. Chapter Three is concerned with developing a nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum theory of the photoeffect in the form of ionization of the atom, which is the extension of the old theory of the photoeffect. In Chapter Four, based on the analogy with the classical continuity equation, the equations of Fick and Hamilton-Jacobi, a nonlinear differential equation is derived that describes the mechanical evolution of matter as a primary fluid. In Chapter Five, a quantization of general linear dissipative systems is discussed.In Chapter Six, a quantization process that circumvents the use of the Hamiltonian approach and derives the Schrodinger equation from its first principles is developed.The remaining chapters deal with a complementary understanding on quantum mechanics from a bio-psychological perspective that helps better elucidate the weird aspects of the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, since physics in general depends on observation and interpretation, which are bio-psychological functions. Treating a symmetry as a foundational concept, quantum mechanics and measurement axioms based on abstraction of physical entities by their symmetries is reformulated. Fundamental questions, like "Is quantum mechanics really timeless?" are raised. Questions related to the relationship between theories and models in science are investigated. Fundamental issues to describe the main elements of a possible theory of fractional probability, which could deal with defects in observation or defect in definition are analyzed. Bohmian quantum mechanics with novel reinterpretations that provide a new understanding of quantum mechanics is advocated.
