Introduction The majority of present day physics theories were hypothetically formulated in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, while very few were formulated in the first four decades of the 20th c……続きを見る

This is a text on quantum mechanics formulated simultaneously in terms of position and momentum, i.e. in phase space. It is written at an introductory level, drawing on the remarkable history of the……続きを見る

The Standard Model of elementary particles, although very successful, contains various elements that are put in by hand. Understanding their origin requires going beyond the model and searching for ……続きを見る

This book of essays in four parts, was written over a decade and full of surprises for the breadth and variety of its subject matter. The first part is about the foundations of the quantum theory wh……続きを見る

Mystics and sages have long maintained that everything in the universe is connected. Recent discoveries in quantum physics and relativity theory show that indeed there is a subtle unifying principle……続きを見る

The functional formulation of quantum mechanics and relativistic quantum field theories are widely studied subjects. Nevertheless, certain aspects of this formulation are frequently overlooked, in s……続きを見る

Yang-Mills gravity is a new theory, consistent with experiments, that brings gravity back to the arena of gauge field theory and quantum mechanics in flat space-time. It provides solutions to long-s……続きを見る

This book presents the developments in accelerator physics and technology implemented at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider, the world’s most powerful accelerator for almost twenty years prior ……続きを見る

The physics of strong light-matter coupling has been addressed in different scientific communities over the last three decades. Since the early eighties, atoms coupled to optical and microwave cavit……続きを見る

A comprehensive exposition of the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics (TI), this book sheds new light on longstanding problems in quantum theory and provides insight into the compatibi……続きを見る

Combining physics, mathematics and computer science, topological quantum computation is a rapidly expanding research area focused on the exploration of quantum evolutions that are immune to errors. ……続きを見る

Reality and Consciousness is a new book exploring the implications of the Theory of Relativity and Quantum Theory for understandings of consciousness and the mind. Imagine our model for observable r……続きを見る

La physique quantique, tout le monde en a entendu parler Mais qu’est-ce que c’est ? De quoi cela parle-t-il ? Où cela se passe-t-il ? Existe-t-il des applications concrètes ? Il semble que le rêve d……続きを見る

This book is a collection of articles on Physics with Trapped Charged Particles by speakers at the Les Houches Winter School. The articles cover all types of physics with charged particles, and are ……続きを見る

Quantum mechanics is one of the most fascinating, and at the same time most controversial, branches of contemporary science. Disputes have accompanied this science since its birth and have not cease……続きを見る

The principles presented in this publication unify gravity with the quantum atom. The many areas of focused research within the scientific community now have a clear harmonized path forward. There a……続きを見る

Superfluidity – and closely related to it, superconductivity – are very general phenomena that can occur on vastly different energy scales. Their underlying theoretical mechanism of spontaneous symm……続きを見る

This book addresses several mathematical models from the most relevant class of kp-Schrödinger systems. Both mathematical models and state-of-the-art numerical methods for adequately solving the ari……続きを見る

The Oskar Klein Memorial Lecture series has become a very successful tradition in Swedish physics since it started in 1988. Theoretical high-energy physics dominates the subjects of the lectures, mi……続きを見る

A thought-provoking book that delves into the age old question "Why Am I Here?" and comes up with a simple but satisfying answer, based on the author's lifelong research of psychology, quantum physi……続きを見る

In addition to linear perspective, complex numbers and probability were notable discoveries of the Renaissance. While the power of perspective, which transformed Renaissance art, was quickly recogni……続きを見る

Reviewing macroscopic quantum phenomena and quantum dissipation, from the phenomenology of magnetism and superconductivity to the presentation of alternative models for quantum dissipation, this boo……続きを見る

Eugene D. Commins takes an experimentalist's approach to quantum mechanics, preferring to use concrete physical explanations over formal, abstract descriptions to address the needs and interests of ……続きを見る

With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the LHC experiments have closed the most important gap in our understanding of fundamental interactions, confirming that such interactions between elementary p……続きを見る

The Trouble with Physics is a groundbreaking account of the state of modern physics: of how we got from Einstein and Relativity through quantum mechanics to the strange and bizarre predictions of st……続きを見る

The Quantum Universe brings together two authors on a brilliantly ambitious mission to show that everyone can understand the deepest questions of science. But just what is quantum physics? How does ……続きを見る
