Suitable for undergraduates as a second semester quantum mechanics course or first-year graduate students, this book begins with a short summary of quantum mechanics and contains physics of open systems and their application to light/matter interactions. Written in a simplified manner and classroom tested, this book provides the fundamentals of quantum optics and includes recent developments in the field.Key Features - Solid introduction to the key features of the field - Excellent first exposure to nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics - Developed from 30 years of teaching - Includes recent developments in the field In this book, some of themathematical fundamentals of quantumoptics are introduced in a way to be understandable and usable by senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students. The amount of material discussed is huge; one can find the definition of all kinds of states including squeezed and cat states. The typographical presentation is very good and some figures are in colour. The book is available in e-version as well as printed with a hard cover. I found a very few misprints and believe its reading can be very useful to people who already know about the subject and wish for a short reminder of it.Mario Bertolotti 2021 Contemporary Physics, Taylor & Francis Group.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The NASA Kepler and K2 missions have made fundamental, paradigm-changing advances in essentially every area of astrophysics and planetary science. While known for their breakthrough discoveries in exoplanets - especially small rocky worlds orbiting in the habitable zone of their host suns - these missions have also continued to make numerous scientific advances in solar system science, stellar astrophysics and extragalactic astronomy. This book is devoted to the Kepler and K2 missions and covers the tremendous new discoveries made in the areas of spacecraft engineering, asteroseismology, binary and variable stars, stellar astrophysics, white dwarfs, asteroids and comets, active galaxies, supernovae, black holes, and of course exoplanets of all types. It is suitable for the interested layperson, pupils of science and space missions, and advanced science students and researchers wishing for an introduction and highly focused memoir of the NASA Kepler mission and its amazing accomplishments.Key Features - Provides an introduction to advanced science presentations on all major mission topics - Written by the scientists who made the discoveries - Includes engineering and spacecraft discussions - Describes the effects of the mission on science and the world, integrating many of the major discoveries and their graphics, movies, and materials - Includes side boxes of interest, for example exoplanet naming conventions and perspectives from noted scientists The text is nicely written in a somewhat personal style, easily accessible yet precise and fully referenced to scientific publications. The individual contributions are short and nicely integrated into the main text by use of text boxes, which increases the readability. It is overall very accessible, also owing to the fact that no mathematics or formal scientific training is necessarily required to understand most of the material presented. It can be recommended to anyone with a general interest in the engineering and science of space telescopes, or more specifically with the study of exoplanets by space-based photometry. It provides an interesting and informative read about the Kepler mission for interested laypersons to experts.Manuel Vogel 2021 Contemporary Physics Taylor & Francis GroupThe book is full of fascinating results from a fascinating Discovery Mission.Virginia Trimble 2021 The Observatory.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book lays the foundations of quantum cosmology, developing classical cosmology and quantum physics based on general principles without requiring detailed background knowledge in these fields. Throughout the book, the discussion focuses on the physical meaning of space-time - classical or quantum - and on the important requirement of general covariance. Various classical models are derived from this condition and applied to basic questions in cosmology and the physics of black holes. The book's introduction of relevant ingredients from quantum physics makes it possible to derive fundamental features of quantum cosmology, to present the main approaches to quantum gravity, including string theory and causal dynamical triangulations, and to outline some of their cosmological implications. It is an essential guide for researchers in quantum gravity and astrophysicists interested in fundamental aspects of cosmology. Key Features - Emphasizes the physics of quantum cosmology - Employs new semiclassical methods to avoid counter-intuitive aspects in quantum cosmology - Presents quantum cosmology in the language of well-understood physics models - Highlights implications of general covariance in classical and quantum cosmology - Includes results from a variety of approaches to quantum cosmology, as well as relations between them.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book presents an in-depth look at lenses free of spherical aberrations and is provided using illustrative examples. Mathematical principles behind lenses free of spherical aberration are included with an introduction to set theory, the conics, continuity, real analysis and topology. Physical principles are covered as well as a step by step guide to mathematical model for deducing the general formula of the stigmatic lens, in order to design a singlet free of spherical aberration. Subsequently, the characteristics of these lenses and the equations that describes them are studied. Finally, several implications of these lenses are studied, such as freeform lenses, optical systems, axicons, telescopes and more. Scenarios with on-axis objects and off-axis objects are considered. Cases where the object is real or virtual, and the image is real or virtual are also presented. The book is a valuable resource for industrial specialists and academics in lens design and optics, and an insightful guide for optical physics students.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The development of a successful theory of quantum gravity in the context of the early universe is the key next step in theoretical physics. This book takes that step by describing a coherent mathematical framework for both the evolution of discrete space-time and the quantum graviton in the Planck regime. In doing so it successfully blends developments in both loop quantum gravity and superstring theory with data from the Large Hadron Collider. The result is a coherent mathematical framework that encapsulates newer developments on both the evolution of discrete space-time and the quantum graviton in the early universe. In doing so it addresses a key issue concerning loop quantum gravity raised by Ashtekar: describing conditions for the existence of locally translation-invariant quantum states; a quantum form of the diffeomorphisms of general relativityKey Features - Addresses one of the key questions in theoretical physics: quantum gravity - Accessible to graduate students - Presents a coherent mathematical framework - Author is winner of the President's Medal of the Operational Research Society, the Napier medal in mathematics and the Einstein Medal of the US Marine Corps.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book examines the concept of stigmatism from its base to the most fundamental stigmatic systems. The book begins with Maxwell's equations, before continuing with the wave equation, the eikonal equation and the ray equation. The eikonal equation is also studied with the formalism of the calculation of variations and the concept of stigmatism. Once the foundations of stigmatism have been established, the book focuses on fundamental stigmatic systems, Cartesian ovals and stigmatic lenses. Step by step, the derivations of these systems are obtained and illustrative examples of all their cases are shown. Through the study of these systems, the uniqueness of stigmatism is formulated, and the implications of this uniqueness are presented at the end of the book. This book is an excellent guide for producers of lenses and optical products, and academics in lens design and optics. Key Features - Includes examples throughout - Presents problems proposed to be solved by students as well as codes and algorithms in every chapter - Discusses the physical concepts needed, then focuses on the mathematical tools needed to understand the eikonal and the close form solution of the stigmatic optical systems - A great reference for research centres, optical based societies, optics journals, universities and optical based companies.…
