This book addresses physicists working in general relativity, astrophysics and cosmology. The contributions are based on reports given at a summer school the goal of which was to review modern research for students. The school was centered on the study of gravitational fields co…
An open systems approach to quantum optics
This volume contains ten lectures presented in the series ULB Lectures in Nonlinear Optics at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles during the period October 28 to November 4, 1991. A large part of the first six lectures is taken from material prepared for a book of somewhat larger …
Die Dirac-Gleichung und Feynman-Graphen werden in Anlehnung an die Feynmanschen Originalarbeiten eingeführt. Viele Reaktionen der elektromagnetischen und schwachen Wechselwirkung werden vom Matrixelement bis zum Wirkungsquerschnitt explizit berechnet. Die Eichinvarianz in der El…
Main description: The main emphasis of this work is the mathematical theory of quantum channels and their entropic and information characteristics. The past years were marked with impressive progress made by several researchers in solution of some difficult problems, in particul…
A first-hand look into how quantum computing and Blockchain together are redefining industries, including fintech, healthcare, and research. Through a series of interviews with domain experts, Arun also explores the potential of these technologies to transform national and globa…

The representation theory of infinite-dimensional groups is an important tool for studying conformal field theory, problems in statistical mechanics, and string theory. Using the ideas of classical representation theory and basic facts of functional analysis, the author construc…
In this essay collection, leading physicists, philosophers, and historians attempt to fill the empty theoretical ground in the foundations of information and address the related question of the limits to our knowledge of the world. Over recent decades, our practical approach to …
This self-contained essay collection is published to commemorate half a century of Bell's theorem. Like its much acclaimed predecessor "Quantum [Un]Speakables: From Bell to Quantum Information" (published 2002), it comprises essays by many of the worlds leading quantum physicist…
