Public ISBD Titre : The Quantum Matrix : Henry Bar's Perilous Struggle for Quantum Coherence Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Kurizki Gershon ; Gordon Goren Editeur : Oxford : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 1 vol (272 p.) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-109136-0 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Bibliothèque numérique:Physique Mots-clés : Quantum theory:Popular works Résumé : In this book, Henry Bar, physicist and the first quantum superhero, guides the reader through the amazing quantum world. His hair-raising adventures in his perilous struggle for quantum coherence are graphically depicted by comics and thoroughly explained to the lay reader. Behind each adventure lies a key concept in quantum physics. These concepts range from the basic quantum coherence and entanglement through tunnelling and the recently discovered quantum decoherence control, to the principles of the emerging technologies of quantum communication and computing. The explanations of the concepts are accessible, but nonetheless rigorous and detailed. They are followed by an account of the broader context of these concepts, their historic perspective, current status and forthcoming developments. Finally, thought-provoking philosophical and cultural implications of these concepts are discussed. The mathematical appendices of all chapters cover in a straightforward manner the core aspects of quantum physics at the level of a university introductory course. The Quantum Matrix presents an entertaining, popular, yet comprehensive picture of quantum physics. It can be read as a light-hearted illustrated tale, a philosophical treatise, or a textbook. Either way, the book lets the reader delve deeply into the wondrous quantum world from diverse perspectives and obtain glimpses into the quantum technologies that are about to reshape our lives. This book offers the reader an enjoyable and rewarding voyage through the quantum world Note de contenu : Part I: Basic Concepts 1: What is Quantumness? 2: What is a Quantum Superposition? 3: What is Quantum Interference? 4: What are Quantum Measurements? 5: What is Quantum Uncertainty? 6: What is Time-Energy Uncertainty? Part II: Quantum Entanglement and Open Quantum Systems 7: What is Quantum Entanglement? 8: Entanglement, Decoherence and Which-Path Information. 9: What is the Environment of Quantum Systems? 10: Can Quantum Measurements Prevent Change? 11: Can Quantum Measurements Control Temperature? 12: Can Dephasing be Controlled? Part III: Quantum Complex Systems and Technologies 13: What is Quantum Tunneling? 14: What is Quantum Teleportation? 15: The Dawn of Quantum Information Côte titre : E-Fs/0037 En ligne : https://sciences-courses.univ-setif.dz/login/index.php The Quantum Matrix : Henry Bar's Perilous Struggle for Quantum Coherence [document électronique] / Kurizki Gershon ; Gordon Goren . - Oxford : Oxford university press, 2020 . - 1 vol (272 p.).
