  • Interpreting Quantum Theory

    A Therapeutic Approach

    by S. Friederich ...
    Series series New Directions in the Philosophy of Science
    Is it possible to approach quantum theory in a 'therapeutic' vein that sees its foundational problems as arising from mistaken conceptual presuppositions? The book explores the prospects for this project and, in doing so, discusses such fascinating issues as the nature of quantum states, explanation in quantum theory, and 'quantum non-locality'. ...

  • The Quantum World

    The disturbing theory at the heart of reality

    by New Scientist ...
    Series series New Scientist Instant Expert
    Forget everything you thought you knew about reality.The world is a seriously bizarre place. Things can exist in two places at once and travel backwards and forwards in time. Waves and particles are one and the same, and objects change their behaviour according to whether they are being watched. This is not some alternative universe but the realm of the very small, where quantum mechanics rules. ... Read more

  • The Union of Chemistry and Physics

    Linkages, Reduction, Theory Nets and Ontology

    by Hinne Hettema ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This monograph deals with the interrelationship between chemistry and physics, and especially the role played by quantum chemistry as a theory in between these two disciplines. The author uses structuralist approach to explore the overlap between the two sciences, looking at their theoretical and ontological borrowings as well as their continuity.The starting point of this book is that there is at ...

  • Nuclear and Particle Physics

    by R.J. Blin-Stoyle ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book is intended to give a clear and concise introductory account of the basic ideas underlying nuclear and elementary particle physics. The attempt throughout is to convey a sound physical understanding of the structures and processes encountered. It assumes some knowledge of elementary quantum mechanics, particularly the treatment of angular momentum, and the rudiments of special relativity ... Read more

  • Lectures on LHC Physics

    by Tilman Plehn ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    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 particles can be described by quantum field theory, more specifically by a renormalizable gauge theory. This theory is a priori valid for arbitrarily high energy scales and does not require an ... Read more

  • Probabilities, Causes and Propensities in Physics

    Edited by Mauricio Suárez ...
    Series Book 347 - Synthese Library
    This volume defends a novel approach to the philosophy of physics: it is the first book devoted to a comparative study of probability, causality, and propensity, and their various interrelations, within the context of contemporary physics -- particularly quantum and statistical physics. The philosophical debates and distinctions are firmly grounded upon examples from actual physics, thus ... Read more

  • Quantum Kinetic Theory

    by Michael Bonitz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents quantum kinetic theory in a comprehensive way. The focus is on density operator methods and on non-equilibrium Green functions. The theory allows to rigorously treat nonequilibrium dynamics in quantum many-body systems. Of particular interest are ultrafast processes in plasmas, condensed matter and trapped atoms that are stimulated by rapidly developing experiments with short ... Read more
