Titre(s) : Compendium of quantum physics [Texte électronique] : concepts, experiments, history, and philosophy / Daniel Greenberger, Klaus Hentschel, Friedel Weinert, editors
Publication : Heidelberg ; New York : Springer, cop. 2009
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
"Lexicon of terms" in English, French, and German.
"With contributions by many of today's leading quantum physicists, philosophers and
historians, including three Nobel laureates, this comprehensive A to Z of quantum
physics provides a lucid understanding of the key concepts of quantum theory and experiment.
It covers technical and interpretational aspects alike, and includes both traditional
topics and newer areas such as quantum information and its relatives. The central
concepts that have shaped contemporary understanding of the quantum world are clearly
defined, with illustrations where helpful, and discussed at a level suitable for undergraduate
and graduate students of physics, history of science, and philosophy of physics. All
articles share three main aims: (1) to provide a clear definition and understanding
of the term concerned; (2) where possible, to trace the historical origins of the
concept; and (3) to provide a small but optimal selection of references to the most
relevant literature, including pertinent historical studies. Also discussed are the
often contentious philosophical implications derived from quantum theory and its associated
experimental findings." "This compendium will be an indispensable resource for all
those seeking concise up-to-date information about the many facets of quantum physics."--Jacket
