Download or read book Understanding Quantum Raffles written by Michael Janas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a thorough technical elaboration and philosophical defense of an objectivist informational interpretation of quantum mechanics according to which its novel content is located in its kinematical framework, that is, in how the theory describes systems independently of the specifics of their dynamics. It will be of interest to researchers and students in the philosophy of physics and in theoretical physics with an interest in the foundations of quantum mechanics. Additionally, parts of the book may be used as the basis for courses introducing non-physics majors to quantum mechanics, or for self-study by those outside of the university with an interest in quantum mechanics. With a Foreword by Jeffrey Bub. -- “Understanding Quantum Raffles is a wonderful book for both the specialists and those with curious minds. The elegance and the simplicity with which the 'three Mikes' explain some of the deepest aspects of quantum mechanics on the basis of probabilities and correlations are dazzling and delightful. The same elegance and simplicity also make the book ideal for any engaged reader who ever wondered what is so special about quantum mechanics. In our age of new quantum technologies, this is something anyone should read.” (Guido Bacciagaluppi, author of Quantum Theory at the Crossroads) “This book makes a sustained argument for an informational interpretation of quantum theory, blending an elegant mathematical characterisation of quantum correlations with incisive historical and philosophical analysis. A must-read for those interested in quantum foundations, and also a fertile source of teaching inspiration for quantum theory.” (Leah Henderson, Department of Theoretical Philosophy, University of Groningen) “This is one of the most fascinating and accessible presentations of the informational approach to quantum mechanics. What has so far been mostly restricted to the theoretical physics community is here masterfully explained for a broader audience even without a physics background. Scholars, students, and laypeople alike will appreciate the clear, vivid, and yet deep discussion of what raffle tickets and correlation elliptopes can tell us about the physics and philosophy of the quantum world.” (Markus Müller, Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Vienna)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computers are essential for the functioning of our society. Despite the incredible power of existing computers, computing technology is progressing beyond today’s conventional models. Quantum Computing (QC) is surfacing as a promising disruptive technology. QC is built on the principles of quantum mechanics. QC can run algorithms that are not trivial to run on digital computers. QC systems are being developed for the discovery of new materials and drugs and improved methods for encoding information for secure communication over the Internet. Unprecedented new uses for this technology are bound to emerge from ongoing research. The development of conventional digital computing technology for the arts and humanities has been progressing in tandem with the evolution of computers since the 1950s. Today, computers are absolutely essential for the arts and humanities. Therefore, future developments in QC are most likely to impact on the way in which artists will create and perform, and how research in the humanities will be conducted. This book presents a comprehensive collection of chapters by pioneers of emerging interdisciplinary research at the crossroads of quantum computing, and the arts and humanities, from philosophy and social sciences to visual arts and music. Prof. Eduardo Reck Miranda is a composer and a professor in Computer Music at Plymouth University, UK, where he is a director of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR). His previous publications include the Springer titles Handbook of Artificial Intelligence for Music, Guide to Unconventional Computing for Music, Guide to Brain-Computer Music Interfacing and Guide to Computing for Expressive Music Performance.
Download or read book Constructing Quantum Mechanics Volume 2 written by Michel Janssen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second of two volumes on the genesis of quantum mechanics in the first quarter of the 20th century. It covers the period 1923-1927. After covering some of the difficulties the old quantum theory had run into by the early 1920s as well as the discovery of the exclusion principle and electron spin, it traces the emergence of two forms of the new quantum mechanics, matrix mechanics and wave mechanics, in the years 1923-27. It then shows how the new theory took care of some of the failures of the old theory and put its successes on a more solid basis. Finally, it shows how in 1927 the two forms of the new theory were unified, first through statistical transformation theory, then through the Hilbert space formalism. This volume provides a detailed analysis of the classic papers by Heisenberg, Born, Jordan, Dirac, De Broglie, Einstein, Schrödinger, von Neumann and other authors. Drawing on the correspondence of these and other physicists, their later reminiscences and the extensive secondary literature on the “quantum revolution”, this volume places these papers in the context of the discussions out of which modern quantum mechanics emerged. It argues that the genesis of modern quantum mechanics can be seen as the construction of an arch on a scaffold provided by the old quantum theory, discarded once the arch could support itself.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 1311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crucial to most research in physics, as well as leading to the development of inventions such as the transistor and the laser, quantum mechanics approaches its centenary with an impressive record. However, the field has also long been the subject of ongoing debates about the foundations and interpretation of the theory, referred to as the quantum controversy. This Oxford Handbook offers a historical overview of the contrasts which have been at the heart of quantum physics for the last 100 years. Drawing on the wide-ranging expertise of several contributors working across physics, history, and philosophy, the handbook outlines the main theories and interpretations of quantum physics. It goes on to tackle the key controversies surrounding the field, touching on issues such as determinism, realism, locality, classicality, information, measurements, mathematical foundations, and the links between quantum theory and gravity. This engaging introduction is an essential guide for all those interested in the history of scientific controversies and history of quantum physics. It also provides a fascinating examination of the potential of quantum physics to influence new discoveries and advances in fields such quantum information and computing.

Download or read book Understanding Quantum written by Irwin Tyler and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no way anyone can explain quantum theory to the beginner or non-scientist by diving right into the subject. That's why this subject is presented in three, easy-to-read volumes. Quantum is just too weird if we look only to our experiences in the world around us to try to validate what scientists understand about quantum theory and quantum physics. Instead, we need to sneak up on it, building our knowledge slowly, recognizing anomalies, trying to explain conundrums and seeming impossibilities, testing and discarding and rebuilding ideas, and validating our theories experimentally, bit by bit until at least some of quantum begins to make sense. This three volume series seeks to make enough sense to satisfy you without the need for hard physics and mathematics. Volume 1 The Universe is Made Up of "Stuff" introduces the beginnings of scientific inquiry into the makeup of the "stuff" of our universe. By the start of the 20th Century scientists had begun to realize that they knew less about this "stuff" than they thought they did.
Download or read book Understanding Quantum written by Irwin Tyler and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Volume 1 we learned that 3,000 years of classical physics finally met its match when the strange results of experiments on ever smaller "things" could not be explained. Each new finding seemed to lead to an endless series of new questions and new experiments. And each new finding disclosed ever tinier "particles" and strange new "things". Breakthrough understandings by Einstein and Heisenberg, revealed in Volume 2, left as many questions as answers. Serious inquiry in the early 20th Century, prompted by these two giants, revealed that the nature of "nature" was still largely a mystery.

Download or read book Yes Virginia Quantum Mechanics Can Be Understood written by John P. Wallace and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia, B. W. Wooster, and Jeeves take up physics with the hope of understanding quantum mechanics. In the process they take a rather grand tour on an old sailing ship and aid a sow in distress. On their journey they discover that physics is not as difficult a subject as they imagined. When they dismantled physics and reassembled it in a form where gravity, strong, electromagnetic and the weak forces all stem from understanding the gaming strategy known as the fair-game. That great cultural divide first expounded by the novelist C.P.Snow was found to be a mere ditch that can be stepped over. The sins of the past were violations of energy conservation and strange notions about what mass actually represents. Now mass is defined without the assistance of the Standard Model. Things will not be the same. Singularities have been banished. The electron now has a scale and is no longer captive in a point. The gluon is no longer essential along with the single virtual photon.

Book excerpt: Are you looking for a useful guide to help you understand the most interesting concepts of quantum physics, the law of attraction, and the theory of relativity? If yes, then keep reading. In this book, we've done our best to explain the most interesting and common concepts of quantum physics, to arm the reader with useful (and desirable) knowledge, whether you're reading for self-betterment, understanding, or bragging rights. If we do our job correctly, the reader will emerge with a newfound understanding of the workings of the universe and everything around us. This guide contains information about Quantum Physics and the way of understanding the aspects of Physics and other stuff like particles, waves, and light. Even though classical physics came first, quantum physics can be used to explain most of the classical physics' phenomena on a large scale. The book came into existence to establish a firm intellectual basis for the foundation of QP for those among the masses who are not necessarily professional physicists but who nevertheless are willing to make an effort to go beyond fairytales. Only once the non-experts know what QP is about can they safely distinguish and discriminate between a serious scientific claim and more or less pseudo-scientific fantasy. Our guide is intended for anyone that ever asked the fundamental question "why" during science class and received an answer that was not very satisfying, or it was not answered at all. Questioning thoughts and ideas is what leads to human progress.

Download or read book Totally Random written by Tanya Bub and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eccentric comic about the central mystery of quantum mechanics Totally Random is a comic for the serious reader who wants to really understand the central mystery of quantum mechanics--entanglement: what it is, what it means, and what you can do with it. Measure two entangled particles separately, and the outcomes are totally random. But compare the outcomes, and the particles seem as if they are instantaneously influencing each other at a distance—even if they are light-years apart. This, in a nutshell, is entanglement, and if it seems weird, then this book is for you. Totally Random is a graphic experiential narrative that unpacks the deep and insidious significance of the curious correlation between entangled particles to deliver a gut-feel glimpse of a world that is not what it seems. See for yourself how entanglement has led some of the greatest thinkers of our time to talk about crazy-sounding stuff like faster-than-light signaling, many worlds, and cats that are both dead and alive. Find out why it remains one of science's most paradigm-shaking discoveries. Join Niels Bohr's therapy session with the likes of Einstein, Schrödinger, and other luminaries and let go of your commonsense notion of how the world works. Use your new understanding of entanglement to do the seemingly impossible, like beat the odds in the quantum casino, or quantum encrypt a message to evade the Sphinx's all-seeing eye. But look out, or you might just get teleported back to the beginning of the book! A fresh and subversive look at our quantum world with some seriously funny stuff, Totally Random delivers a real understanding of entanglement that will completely change the way you think about the nature of physical reality.
