Foundations of Quantum Physics

Springer, 2008

Our book is meant to be a text for a first undergraduate course in quantum physics. Both of us have taught this course numerous times and have used several different texts, some of them excellent. Obviously, though, there are changes we would make and that is the reason we are writing this book.

Two of the most widely used books for this course...

Fundamentals of Ultra-Thin-Body MOSFETs and FinFETs

Cambridge University Press, 2013

Understand the theory, design and applications of the two principal candidates for the next mainstream semiconductor-industry device with this concise and clear guide to FD/UTB transistors. • Describes FD/SOI MOSFETs and 3-D FinFETs in detail • Covers short-channel effects, quantum-mechanical effects, applications of UTB devices to...

Beginning Mac OS X Programming

Wrox Press, 2005

Beginning Mac OS X Programming

Every Mac OS X system comes with all the essentials required for programming: free development tools, resources, and utilities. However, finding the place to begin may be challenging, especially if you have no prior development knowledge. This comprehensive guide offers you an ideal starting point to...

Gauge Theories In The Twentieth Century

World Scientific Publishing, 2001

By the end of the 1970s, it was clear that all the known forces of nature (including, in a sense, gravity) were examples of gauge theories, characterized by invariance under symmetry transformations chosen independently at each position and each time. These ideas culminated with the finding of the W and Z gauge bosons (and perhaps also the...

Tensor Categories and Endomorphisms of von Neumann Algebras: with Applications to Quantum Field Theory (SpringerBriefs in Mathematical Physics)

Springer, 2015

C* tensor categories are a point of contact where Operator Algebras and Quantum Field Theory meet. They are the underlying unifying concept for homomorphisms of (properly infinite) von Neumann algebras and representations of quantum observables.

The present introductory text reviews the basic notions and their cross-relations in...

Hilbert Space Operators in Quantum Physics (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)

Springer, 2008

Some praise for the previous edition:

“I really enjoyed reading this work. It is very well written, by three real experts in the field. It stands quite alone....” (John R. Taylor, Professor of Physics and Presidential Teaching Scholar, University of Colorado at Boulder)

This course-tested book explains in detail the theory...

Physics and Whitehead: Quantum, Process, and Experience (Suny Series in Constructive Postmodern Thought)

University of New York, 2009

The Center for Process Studies in Claremont, California held a conference on Physics and Time in August 1984 with David Bohm, Ilya Prigogine, Henry Stapp, and other leading scientists and philosophers. During that conference, a spontaneous conjunction of energies emerged from a conversation between two participants who also appear in these...

Chaotic Dynamics and Transport in Classical and Quantum Systems: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute

Springer, 2005

This book offers a modern updated review on the most important activities in today dynamical systems and statistical mechanics by some of the best experts in the domain. It gives a contemporary and pedagogical view on theories of classical and quantum chaos and complexity in hamiltonian and ergodic systems and their applications to anomalous...

Superconductivity: Fundamentals and Applications (Physics)

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

Comprehensive and easy to understand this introductory text on superconductivity was especially written for the nonspecialist. The author, an active researcher in the field for more than forty years, presents the fundamental considerations (without too much mathematics), describes the various phenomena connected with the superconducting state,...

The Power of Strategic Commitment: Achieving Extraordinary Results Through Total Alignment and Engagement

AMACOM, 2009

Not just a slogan on the T-shirts you give out at the company picnic, commitment is a crucial strategic advantage in any organization. But it’s as elusive to achieve as it is easy to covet. Real commitment transcends simple compliance, where employees follow the rules and get their work done, and translates to the...

Empiricism and Philosophy of Physics (Synthese Library, 434)

Springer, 2021

This book presents a thoroughly empiricist account of physics. By providing an overview of the development of empiricism from Ockham to van Fraassen the book lays the foundation for its own version of empiricism. Empiricism for the author consists of three ideas: nominalism, i.e. dismissing second order quantification as unnecessary,...

The Physical Tourist: A Science Guide for the Traveler

Birkhauser, 2008

Typical travel guides have sections on architecture, art, literature, music and cinema. Rarely are any science-related sites identified. For example, a current travel guide for Germany contains one tidbit on science: Einstein is identified as the most famous citizen of Ulm. By contrast, this travel guide walks a tourist through Berlin and...
