Quantum Enigmaby Bruce Rosenblum; Fred Kutter
Oxford University Press, USA 2011; US$ 15.95In trying to understand the atom, physicists built quantum mechanics, the most successful theory in science and the basis of one-third of our economy. They found, to their embarrassment, that with their theory, physics encounters consciousness. Authors Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner explain all this in non-technical terms with help from some fanciful stories and anecdotes about the theory's developers. They present the quantum mystery honestly, emphasizing what is and what is not speculation. Quantum Enigma's description of the experimental quantum facts, and the quantum theory explaining them, is undisputed. Interpreting what it all means, however, is heatedly controversial. But every interpretation of quantum physics involves consciousness.... more...
Quantum Enigmaby Bruce Rosenblum; Fred Kuttner
Oxford University Press 2006; US$ 15.95Trying to understand the atom, physicists built quantum mechanics and found, to their embarrassment, that their theory intimately connects consciousness with the physical world. This book explores what that implies and why some founders of the theory became the foremost objectors to it. more...
The Non-Local Universeby Robert Nadeau; Menas Kafatos
Oxford University Press, USA 2001; US$ 15.00Classical physics states that physical reality is local, or that a measurement at one point in space cannot cannot influence what occurs at another beyond a fairly short distance. Until recently this seemed like an immutable truth in nature. However, in 1997 experiments were conducted in which light particles (photons) originated under certain conditions and traveled in opposite directions to detectors located about seven miles apart. The amazing results indicated that the photons "interacted" or "communicated" with one another instantly or "in no time," leading to the revelation that physical reality is non-local--a discovery that Robert Nadeau and Menas Kafatos view as "the most momentous in the history... more...
Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theoryby Jonathan Dimock
Cambridge University Press 2011; US$ 52.00Explaining the concepts in a precise mathematical language, this textbook is an ideal introduction for graduate students in mathematics. more...
Mindful Universeby Henry P. Stapp
Springer 2011; US$ 39.95The classical mechanistic idea of nature that prevailed in science during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was an essentially mindless conception: the physically described aspects of nature were asserted to be completely determined by prior physically described aspects alone, with our conscious experiences entering only passively. During the twentieth century the classical concepts were found to be inadequate. In the new theory, quantum mechanics, our conscious experiences enter into the dynamics in specified ways not fixed by the physically described aspects alone. Consequences of this radical change in our understanding of the connection between mind and brain are described. This second edition contains two new chapters investigating... more...
Quantum Theory and the Flight from Realismby Christopher Norris
Routledge 2000; US$ 48.95A critical introduction to the long-standing debate concerning the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics, and the problems the field has posed for physicists and philosophers from Einstein to the present. more...
Applications Of Percolation Theoryby M. Sahini
CRC Press 1994; US$ 83.95A detailed graduate text discussing those applications for which there are well-defined percolations. more...
Quantum Mechanicsby Hendrik F. Hameka
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 89.95A unique introductory text on quantum mechanics, from basic principles to historical perspective. * Includes description of the historical developments that led to the discovery of QM, often left out of other textbooks. * Emphasizes basic concepts that were essential in this discovery, placing them in context and making them more understandable to students. * Written in an easy-to-understand style and assuming no prior knowledge of the topic, this book provides a solid foundation for future study of quantum chemistry. * Includes problem sets for student use. more...
Quantum Implicationsby Basil Hiley; F. David Peat
Routledge 1991; US$ 40.95Quantum Implications is a collection of original contributions by many of the world's leading scholars and is dedicated to David Bohm, his work and the issues raised by his ideas. more...
Group Theory In Physicsby W K Tung
World Scientific 1985; US$ 75.40An introductory text book for graduates and advanced undergraduates on group representation theory. It emphasizes group theory's role as the mathematical framework for describing symmetry properties of classical and quantum mechanical systems. Familiarity with basic group concepts and techniques is invaluable in the education of a modern-day physicist. This book emphasizes general features and methods which demonstrate the power of the group-theoretical approach in exposing the systematics of physical systems with associated symmetry. more...
