Description
Apple Academic Press Quantum Physics (HB) by Agostino And Antonio
Quantum Physics is a set of principles underlying the most fundamental known description of all physical systems at the microscopic scale (at the atomic level). Quantum phenomena are particularly relevant in systems whose dimensions are close to the atomic scale, such as molecules, atoms, electrons, protons, and other subatomic particles. Quantum theory provides accurate descriptions for many previously unexplained phenomena such as black body radiation and stable electron orbits. It has also given insight into the workings of biological systems.Selected Contents: Self-Organized Formation of Quantum Dots: New Physics, New Chemistry, New Technology; The Representation of Numbers by States in Quantum Mechanics; Quantum Information Science: An Emerging Field of Interdisciplinary Research and Education in Science and Engineering; Solved at Last: A Fundamental Problem of Quantum Physics; Physicalism Versus Quantum Mechanics; A Quantum Gravitational Relaxation of the Cosmological Constant; Interacting Quantum Spin Chains; Quantum Chromodynamics with Advanced Computing; Thermodynamics in Loop Quantum Cosmology; Years of Life Lost Due to Exposure: Causal Concepts and Empirical Shortcomings; The Complex Information Process; A Possible Mechanism for Evading Temperature Quantum Decoherence in Living Matter by Feshbach Resonance; Observation of Quantum Confinement Effects with Ultrashort Excitation in the Vicinity of Direct Critical Points in Silicon Nanofilms; Polarization Insensibility of Columnar Quantum Dot Structure Emitting at = 1.55 µm: A Theoretical Study; Differential Gain in InGaAsN/GaAs Double Quantum Well Structures by Numerical Simulations; Ab Initio No Core Calculations of Light Nuclei and Preludes to Hamiltonian Quantum Field Theory; Quantum Phase Transitions and New Scales in QCD-Like Theories; LDRD Final Report on Theory and Exploration of Quantum-Dot Optical Nonlinearities and Coherences; Quantum-Based Atomistic Simulation of Metals at Extreme Conditions; Quantum Monte Carlo Assessment of the Relevance of Electronic Correlations in Defects and EOS in Metals; Index
