  • The Particle Zoo

    The Search for the Fundamental Nature of Reality

    by Gavin Hesketh ...
    What is everything really made of? If we split matter down into smaller and infinitesimally smaller pieces, where do we arrive? At the Particle Zoo - the extraordinary subatomic world of antimatter, ghostly neutrinos, strange-flavoured quarks and time-travelling electrons, gravitons and glueballs, mindboggling eleven-dimensional strings and the elusive Higgs boson itself.Be guided around this ...

  • The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. III

    The New Millennium Edition: Quantum Mechanics

    by Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, Matthew Sands ...
    "The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful, spawning publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum ... Read more

  • Quantum Physics in Minutes

    by Gemma Lavender ...
    Quantum physics is the most fundamental -- but also the most baffling -- branch of science. Allowing for dead-and-alive cats, teleportation, antimatter, and parallel universes, as well as underpinning all of our digital technology, it's as important as it is mind-bending. This clear and compact book demystifies the strange and beautiful quantum world, and hence the nature of reality itself ... Read more

  • Atomic Physics

    by C.J. Foot ...
    Series Book 7 - Oxford Master Series in Physics
    This book is primarily intended to accompany an advanced undergraduate course in atomic physics. However, the elementary atomic physics covered in the early chapters should be accessible to undergraduates when they are first introduced to the subject. The book describes some of the latest advances and the applications to Bose-Einstein condensation of atoms, matter-wave interferometry and quantum ... Read more

  • Quantum Correlations Beyond Entanglement

    and Their Role in Quantum Information Theory

    by Alexander Streltsov ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Quantum correlations are not restricted to the well known entanglement investigated in Bell-type experiments. Other forms of correlations, for example quantum discord, have recently been shown to play an important role in several aspects of quantum information theory. First experiments also support these findings. This book is an introduction into this up-and-coming research field and its likely ... Read more

  • Quantum Information, Computation and Communication

    by Jonathan A. Jones, Dieter Jaksch ...
    Quantum physics allows entirely new forms of computation and cryptography, which could perform tasks currently impossible on classical devices, leading to an explosion of new algorithms, communications protocols and suggestions for physical implementations of all these ideas. As a result, quantum information has made the transition from an exotic research topic to part of mainstream undergraduate ... Read more

  • Collisional Narrowing and Dynamical Decoupling in a Dense Ensemble of Cold Atoms

    by Yoav Sagi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Ultra-cold atomic ensembles have emerged in recent years as a powerful tool in many-body physics research, quantum information science and metrology. This thesis presents an experimental and theoretical study of the coherent properties of trapped atomic ensembles at high densities, which are essential to many of the aforementioned applications. The study focuses on how inter-particle interactions ... Read more

  • Heteronuclear Efimov Scenario in Ultracold Quantum Gases

    Universality in Systems with Large Mass Imbalance

    by Juris Ulmanis ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis represents a decisive breakthrough in our understanding of the physics of universal quantum-mechanical three-body systems.The Efimov scenario is a prime example of how fundamental few-body physics features universally across seemingly disparate fields of modern quantum physics. Initially postulated for nuclear physics more than 40 years ago, the Efimov effect has now become a new ... Read more

  • Measurement of the Antineutrino Double-Differential Charged-Current Quasi-Elastic Scattering Cross Section at MINERvA

    by Cheryl E. Patrick ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis represents the first double differential measurement of quasi-elastic anti-neutrino scattering in the few GeV range--a region of substantial theoretical and experimental interest as it is the kinematic region where studies of charge-parity (CP) violation in the neutrino sector most require precise understanding of the differences between anti-neutrino and neutrino scatter. This ... Read more

  • Surprising Quantum Bounces

    by Valery Nesvizhevsky, Alexei Voronin ...
    This unique book demonstrates the undivided unity and infinite diversity of quantum mechanics using a single phenomenon: quantum bounces of ultra-cold particles.Various examples of such 'quantum bounces' are: gravitational quantum states of ultra-cold neutrons (the first observed quantum states of matter in a gravitational field), the neutron whispering gallery (an observed matter-wave analog of ...
