A First Course in the Sporadic SICs by Blake C. Stacey Pdf

This book focuses on the Symmetric Informationally Complete quantum measurements (SICs) in dimensions 2 and 3, along with one set of SICs in dimension 8. These objects stand out in ways that have earned them the moniker of "sporadic SICs". By some standards, they are more approachable than the other known SICs, while by others they are simply atypical. The author forays into quantum information theory using them as examples, and the author explores their connections with other exceptional objects like the Leech lattice and integral octonions. The sporadic SICs take readers from the classification of finite simple groups to Bell's theorem and the discovery that "hidden variables" cannot explain away quantum uncertainty. While no one department teaches every subject to which the sporadic SICs pertain, the topic is approachable without too much background knowledge. The book includes exercises suitable for an elective at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level.

Phenomenology and QBism by Philipp Berghofer,Harald A. Wiltsche Pdf

This volume brings together philosophers and physicists to explore the parallels between Quantum Bayesianism, or QBism, and the phenomenological tradition. It is the first book exclusively devoted to phenomenology and quantum mechanics. By emphasizing the role of the subject’s experiences and expectations, and by explicitly rejecting the idea that the notion of physical reality could ever be reduced to a purely third-personal perspective, QBism exhibits several interesting parallels with phenomenology. The central message of QBism is that quantum probabilities must be interpreted as the experiencing agent’s personal Bayesian degrees of belief—degrees of belief for the consequences of their actions on a quantum system. The chapters in this volume elaborate whether and specify how phenomenology could serve as the philosophical foundation of QBism. This objective is pursued from the perspective of QBists engaging with phenomenology as well as the perspective of phenomenologists engaging with QBism. These approaches enable us to realize a better understanding of quantum mechanics and the world we live in, achieve a better understanding of QBsim, and introduce the phenomenological foundations of quantum mechanics. Phenomenology and QBism is an essential resource for researchers and graduate students working in philosophy of physics, philosophy of science, quantum mechanics, and phenomenology.

Lagerungen by László Fejes Tóth,Gábor Fejes Tóth,Włodzimierz Kuperberg Pdf

The publication of the first edition of Lagerungen in der Ebene, auf der Kugel und im Raum in 1953 marked the birth of discrete geometry. Since then, the book has had a profound and lasting influence on the development of the field. It included many open problems and conjectures, often accompanied by suggestions for their resolution. A good number of new results were surveyed by László Fejes Tóth in his Notes to the 2nd edition. The present version of Lagerungen makes this classic monograph available in English for the first time, with updated Notes, completed by extensive surveys of the state of the art. More precisely, this book consists of: a corrected English translation of the original Lagerungen, the revised and updated Notes on the original text, eight self-contained chapters surveying additional topics in detail. The English edition provides a comprehensive update to an enduring classic. Combining the lucid exposition of the original text with extensive new material, it will be a valuable resource for researchers in discrete geometry for decades to come.

Anthracite Reds Vol. 2 by Walter Howard Pdf

Anthracite Reds, Vol. 2, is a documentary history of Communists in the Pennsylvania hard coal fields during the Great Depression decade, the "heyday of American Communism." During the 20th century about one million Americans passed through the Communist Party of the United States [CPUSA]. In the first half of the century in the Pennsylvania anthracite, hundreds of men and women, mostly Eastern and Southern European immigrants who lived and worked in the region, also joined the CPUSA. Many books have been written about American communism in diverse regional settings; yet, no author has penned a volume that deals with these American radicals in one of 20th century America's major industrial centers, the anthracite fields of northeastern Pennsylvania. Anthracite Reds serves several purposes. It can be read as a reference work that would be useful to libraries, museums, and researchers. It may also, however, be read as a compelling narrative that tells an interesting story for general readers.

Ancient Furies by ANASTASIA V. SAPORITO,Donald L. Saporito Pdf

Wealth and family privilege are no match for the brutal forward march of two armies intent on eliminating each other. As a teenager, Anastasia Saporito discovered just that truth as she and her family found themselves exiled, vulnerable, and no longer able to call on their societal standing and accumulated riches as the Soviet and German armies converged during World War II. Saporito recounts in vivid detail the difficulties of her childhood as the daughter of White Russian aristocrats forced to flee their native Russia for refuge in Yugoslavia. In Ancient Furies/i

Hollywood Intellect by James D. Bloom Pdf

Much of America's influential intellectual work has come out of Hollywood, which has long helped to shape America's intellectual agenda. Bloom shows how Hollywood movies often do intellectual work as ambitious as that in "art-films," poems and novels, museums, and erudite quarterlies. Hollywood Intellect prompts its readers to reflect on the impact of a variety of Hollywood movies with some of the same assumptions, expectations, and questions customarily applied to literary writing. Hollywood Intellect also illustrates how, in examining the emergence of Hollywood and stardom in general as shapers of the public mind, some of our most renowned poets and novelists enriched our experience of mass entertainment and elite culture. Drawing on a range of literary works and movies, as well as on the careers of both Hollywood and literary celebrities, Bloom documents how Hollywood regulates curiosity, arbitrates civilization, construes and probes stardom, polices genre, and shapes our language.
