Springer, 2005

Class-tested textbook that shows readers how to solve physical problems and deal with their underlying theoretical concepts while using Mathematica^® to derive numeric and symbolic solutions.

Delivers dozens of fully interactive examples for learning and implementation, constants and formulae can readily be...

The Legacy of Albert Einstein: A Collection of Essays in Celebration of the Year of Physics

World Scientific Publishing, 2006

"In this slender volume, about a dozen experts reflect succinctly on a variety of currently interesting topics, from black hole entropy in string theory to the challenge of dark energy. The book should interest primarily graduate students in physics and also some undergraduates ... is a fine reflection of the internationalism of modern science...

Quantum Mechanics

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Why yet another book on quantum mechanics? Quantum mechanics was born in the first quarter of the twentieth century and has received an enormous number of theoretical and experimental confirmations over the years. It is considered to be the fundamental physical paradigm, and has a wide range of applications, from cosmology to chemistry, and from...

An Introduction to Quantum Computing Algorithms

Birkhauser, 2001

In 1994 Peter Shor [65] published a factoring algorithm for a quantum computer that finds the prime factors of a composite integer N more efficiently than is possible with the known algorithms for a classical com puter. Since the difficulty of the factoring problem is crucial for the se curity of a public key encryption system,...

Quantum Gravitation: The Feynman Path Integral Approach

Springer, 2008

The book covers the theory of Quantum Gravitation from the point of view of Feynman path integrals. These provide a manifestly covariant approach in which fundamental quantum aspects of the theory such as radiative corrections and the renormalization group can be systematically and consistently addressed. The path integral method is suitable for...

Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, Chicago, IL, USA, July 12-16, 2003, Proceedings, Part I (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 2003

These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 5th Annual Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2003). The conference was held in Chicago, USA, July 12–16, 2003.

A total of 417 papers were submitted to GECCO 2003. After a rigorous doubleblind reviewing process, 194 papers were accepted for full...

Path Integrals in Physics Volume 2: Quantum Field Theory, Statistical Physics & Other Modern Applications

Taylor & Francis, 2001

This book covers the fundamentals of path integrals, both the Wiener and Feynman types, and their many applications in physics. It deals with systems that have an infinite number of degrees of freedom. The book discusses the general physical background and concepts of the path integral approach used, followed by the most typical and important...

Introductory Quantum Optics

Cambridge University Press, 2004

Quantum optics is one of the liveliest fields in physics at present. While it has been a dominant research field for at least two decades, with much graduate activity, in the past few years it has started to impact the undergraduate curriculum. This book developed from courses we have taught to final year undergraduates and beginning graduate...

Great Physicists: The Life and Times of Leading Physicists from Galileo to Hawking

Oxford University Press, 2001

Here is a lively history of modern physics, as seen through the lives of thirty men and women from the pantheon of physics.

William H. Cropper vividly portrays the life and accomplishments of such giants as Galileo and Isaac Newton, Marie Curie and Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, right up to contemporary figures...

Handbook of Finite Fields (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications)

CRC Press, 2013

Poised to become the leading reference in the field, the Handbook of Finite Fields is exclusively devoted to the theory and applications of finite fields. More than 80 international contributors compile state-of-the-art research in this definitive handbook. Edited by two renowned researchers, the book uses a uniform style and...

Statistical Approach to Quantum Field Theory: An Introduction (Lecture Notes in Physics)

Springer, 2012

Over the past few decades the powerful methods of statistical physics and Euclidean quantum field theory have moved closer together, with common tools based on the use of path integrals. The interpretation of Euclidean field theories as particular systems of statistical physics has opened up new avenues for understanding strongly coupled...

Geometric Methods for Quantum Field Theory

World Scientific Publishing, 2001

Both mathematics and mathematical physics have many active areas of research where the interplay between geometry and quantum field theory has proved extremely fruitful. Duality, gauge field theory, geometric quantization, Seiberg-Witten theory, spectral properties and families of Dirac operators, and the geometry of loop groups offer some striking...
