Download or read book Cosmology and Particle Physics written by V. de Sabbata and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been a steadily increasing cross-fertilization between cosmology and particle physics, on both the theoretical and experimental levels. Particle physics has provided new experimental data from the big accelerators in operation, and data from space satellites are accumulating rapidly. Cosmology is still one of the best laboratories for testing particle theory. The present work discusses such matters in the context of inflation, strings, dark matter, neutrinos and gravitational wave physics in the very early universe, field theory at the Planck scale, and high energy physics. A particular emphasis has been placed on a new topology for spatial infinity, on the relation between temperature and gravitational potential, a canonical formulation of general relativity, the neutrino mass, spin in the early universe, the measurement of gravity in the 10--100 m range, galaxy--galaxy and cluster--cluster correlation, black holes, string theory and string/string duality. The work also presents a beautiful review of high energy elementary particle physics, treating the meaning, status and perspectives of unification and standard model gauge couplings.

Download or read book The Shaggy Steed of Physics written by David Oliver and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-03-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shaggy Steed is an unassuming figure from Irish folklore who reveals himself as an inspiring teacher of the forces hidden in the universe. This book celebrates an unassuming bit of physics that also turns out to be an inspiring teacher. The two-body problem - the motion of two bodies bound by the inverse-square force of gravity and electricity - is the Shaggy Steed of physics, guiding the reader to an understanding of both the forces and the mathematical beauty hidden in the physical world.
Download or read book Introduction to Topological Quantum Matter Quantum Computation written by Tudor D. Stanescu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is "topological" about topological quantum states? How many types of topological quantum phases are there? What is a zero-energy Majorana mode, how can it be realized in a solid state system, and how can it be used as a platform for topological quantum computation? What is quantum computation and what makes it different from classical computation? Addressing these and other related questions, Introduction to Topological Quantum Matter & Quantum Computation provides an introduction to and a synthesis of a fascinating and rapidly expanding research field emerging at the crossroads of condensed matter physics, mathematics, and computer science. Providing the big picture, this book is ideal for graduate students and researchers entering this field as it allows for the fruitful transfer of paradigms and ideas amongst different areas, and includes many specific examples to help the reader understand abstract and sometimes challenging concepts. It explores the topological quantum world beyond the well-known topological insulators and superconductors and emphasizes the deep connections with quantum computation. It addresses key principles behind the classification of topological quantum phases and relevant mathematical concepts and discusses models of interacting and noninteracting topological systems, such as the torric code and the p-wave superconductor. The book also covers the basic properties of anyons, and aspects concerning the realization of topological states in solid state structures and cold atom systems. Quantum computation is also presented using a broad perspective, which includes fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics, such as Bell's theorem, basic concepts in the theory of computation, such as computational models and computational complexity, examples of quantum algorithms, and elements of classical and quantum information theory.

Download or read book The Invisible World written by Joshua Roebke and published by Random House. This book was released on 2025-08-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one has ever seen an electron, quark or neutrino. Yet, no physicist has any doubt as to the existence of these particles. Through mathematics, physicists have opened up the world of the invisible, they have, quite literally, taught us another way to 'see' the world. The Invisible World illuminates the social and cultural history of particle physics in the twentieth century, describing the invisible objects and forces that have shaped our world and chronicling the lives of the people who first revealed them; physicists whose discoveries changed the courses of nations. From the coincident revelations of x-rays and the cinema to the rise of string theory and exotic financial instruments, The Invisible World is a sweeping history of the twentieth century and the physics that shaped the world we know today. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the first particle had only just been observed and physicists were still not sure of the existence of atoms or molecules. Since then, physics has unleashed profound changes on our world. From X-rays to transistors to TVs to atomic weapons, we have learned to live with these new realities and have forged our culture and politics around them. Never before has there been a single record, one narrative history, of what physicists have accomplished in the twentieth century in their quest to understand the fundamental laws and fabric of the universe - and no cultural history that illuminates what that tumultuous century, in all its beauty and terror, had in turn done to them. The Invisible World brilliantly examines the larger role of history and culture in the lives and work of physicists and reveals the stories of how physics left a profound mark on culture and society. The history of the twentieth century, the political shifts between Europe and the United States, the changes in art and popular culture, can all be understood through the lens of physics.
