  • The Shaky Game

    Einstein Realisn and the Quantum Theory

    by Arthur Fine ...
    In this new edition, Arthur Fine looks at Einstein's philosophy of science and develops his own views on realism. A new Afterword discusses the reaction to Fine's own theory."What really led Einstein . . . to renounce the new quantum order? For those interested in this question, this book is compulsory reading."—Harvey R. Brown, American Journal of Physics"Fine has successfully combined a ... Read more

  • The God Effect

    Quantum Entanglement, Science's Strangest Phenomenon

    by Brian Clegg ...
    "A marvelously clear and engaging account of . . . the deepest mysteries of the quantum world and [converting] them into a useful technology." —Gregory Chaitin, author of Meta Math! The Quest for OmegaWhat is entanglement? It's a connection between quantum particles, the building blocks of the universe. Once two particles are entangled, a change to one of them is reflected—instantly—in the other, ... Read more

  • Fashion, Faith, and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe

    by Roger Penrose ...
    Nobel Prize–winning physicist Roger Penrose questions some of the most fashionable ideas in physics today, including string theoryWhat can fashionable ideas, blind faith, or pure fantasy possibly have to do with the scientific quest to understand the universe? Surely, theoretical physicists are immune to mere trends, dogmatic beliefs, or flights of fancy? In fact, acclaimed physicist and ... Read more

  • Tales of the Quantum

    Understanding Physics' Most Fundamental Theory

    by Art Hobson ...
    Everybody has heard that we live in a world made of atoms. But far more fundamentally, we live in a universe made of quanta. Many things are not made of atoms: light, radio waves, electric current, magnetic fields, Earth's gravitational field, not to mention exotica such a neutron stars, black holes, dark energy, and dark matter. But everything, including atoms, is made of highly unified or ... Read more

  • A Brief History of String Theory

    From Dual Models to M-Theory

    by Dean Rickles ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    During its forty year lifespan, string theory has always had the power to divide, being called both a 'theory of everything' and a 'theory of nothing'. Critics have even questioned whether it qualifies as a scientific theory at all. This book adopts an objective stance, standing back from the question of the truth or falsity of string theory and instead focusing on how it came to be and how it ... Read more

  • Problems in Quantum Mechanics

    With Solutions

    by Gordon Leslie Squires ...
    Many students find quantum mechanics conceptually difficult when they first encounter the subject. In this book, the postulates and key applications of quantum mechanics are well illustrated by means of a carefully chosen set of problems, complete with detailed, step-by-step solutions. Beginning with a chapter on orders of magnitude, a variety of topics are then covered, including the mathematical ... Read more

  • Quantum World, The

    by Michel Le Bellac ...
    Quantum physics has, on the one hand, drastically changed our theoretical description of the physical world and has, on the other hand, revolutionized everyday life, by allowing us to build lasers, atomic clocks used in GPS, and semiconductor-based devices such as laptop computers and smartphones. The object of this book is to give a self-contained introduction to both aspects. It contains a ... Read more

  • Lectures On Quantum Mechanics - Volume 1: Basic Matters

    by Berthold-georg Englert ...
    Note: The three volumes are not sequential but rather independent of each other and largely self-contained.Basic Matters is a first introduction to quantum mechanics that does not assume any prior knowledge of the subject. The emphasis is on the general structure as the necessary foundation of any understanding. Starting from the simplest quantum phenomenon, the Stern-Gerlach experiment with its ... Read more

    An Introduction to the Physical Concepts

    by Bogdan Povh, Klaus Rith, Christoph Scholz, Frank Zetsche, Werner Rodejohann ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This well-known introductory textbook gives a uniform presentation of nuclear and particle physics from an experimental point of view.The first part, Analysis, is devoted to disentangling the substructure of matter. This part shows that experiments designed to uncover the substructures of nuclei and nucleons have a similar conceptual basis, and lead to the present picture of all matter being ... Read more
