Quantum physics (quantum mechanics and quantum field theory)

En este libro se condensa parte de la discusión alrededor de los problemas interpretativos de la mecánica cuántica, señalando al final posibles rutas para su solución.

The present book takes the discovery that quantum-like behaviour is not solely reserved to atomic particles one step further.

The first volume (General Theory) differs from most textbooks as it emphasizes the mathematical structure and mathematical rigor, while being adapted to the teaching the first semester of an advanced course in Quantum Mechanics (the content of the book are the lectures of courses actually delivered.

Quantum Structures and the Nature of Reality is a collection of papers written for an interdisciplinary audience about the quantum structure research within the International Quantum Structures Association.

The last decade witnessed an increasing interest of mathematicians in prob- lems originated in mathematical physics.

In this monograph, we shall present a new mathematical formulation of quantum theory, clarify a number of discrepancies within the prior formulation of quantum theory, give new applications to experiments in physics, and extend the realm of application of quantum theory well beyond physics.

How do scientists approach science?

A vivid and comprehensive picture of the current state of research in all directions of logic and philosophy of science.

John von Neumann (1903-1957) was undoubtedly one of the scientific geniuses of the 20th century.

This book has a long history of more than 20 years.

The present volume has its origins in a pair of informal workshops held at the Free University of Brussels, in June of 1998 and May of 1999, named "e;Current Research 1 in Operational Quantum Logic"e;.

Bell's Theorem and its associated implications for the nature of the physical world remain topics of great interest.

This is a monograph on geometrical and topological features which arise in quantum field theory.

From the very beginning it was realised that quantum physics involves radically new interpretative and epistemological consequences.

The Symposium entitled: Causality and Locality in Modern Physics and As- tronomy: Open Questions and Possible Solutions was held at York University, Toronto, during the last week of August 1997.

Even if the subject is a long-standing one, this is the first monograph on this field.

"e;Is quantum logic really logic?

Explicitly Correlated Wave Functions in Chemistry and Physics is the first book devoted entirely to explicitly correlated wave functions and their theory and applications in chemistry and molecular and atomic physics.

This is a collection of some works of Polish philosophers and physicists on philosophical problems of time and spacetime.

Mesoscopic physics has made great strides in the last few years.

Projective geometry is a very classical part of mathematics and one might think that the subject is completely explored and that there is nothing new to be added.

Quantum measurement (Le.

Observability and Scientific Realism It is commonly thought that the birth of modern natural science was made possible by an intellectual shift from a mainly abstract and specuJative conception of the world to a carefully elaborated image based on observations.

Novel instruments for high-precision imaging polarimetry have opened new possibilities, not only for diagnostics of magnetic fields, but also for exploring effects in radiative scattering, atomic physics, spectral line formation and radiative transfer.

This work has grown out of the lecture notes that were prepared for a series of seminars on some selected topics in quantum logic.

Foundational research focuses on the theory, but theories are to be related also to other theories, experiments, facts in their domains, data, and to their uses in applications, whether of prediction, control, or explanation.

Remarkable recent progress in quantum optics has given rise to extremely precise quantum measurements that are used in the research into the fundamentals of quantum physics, and in different branches of physics such as optical spectroscopy.

In spite of the impressive predictive power and strong mathematical structure of quantum mechanics, the theory has always suffered from important conceptual problems.

We are often told that quantum phenomena demand radical revisions of our scientific world view and that no physical theory describing well defined objects, such as particles described by their positions, evolving in a well defined way, let alone deterministically, can account for such phenomena.

For many physicists quantum theory contains strong conceptual difficulties, while for others the apparent conclusions about the reality of our physical world and the ways in which we discover that reality remain philosophically unacceptable.
