Adventures In Theoretical Physics: Selected Papers With Commentaries by Stephen L Adler Pdf

During the period 1964-1972, Stephen L Adler wrote seminal papers on high energy neutrino processes, current algebras, soft pion theorems, sum rules, and perturbation theory anomalies that helped lay the foundations for our current standard model of elementary particle physics. These papers are reprinted here together with detailed historical commentaries describing how they evolved, their relation to other work in the field, and their connection to recent literature. Later important work by Dr Adler on a wide range of topics in fundamental theory, phenomenology, and numerical methods, and their related historical background, is also covered in the commentaries and reprints.This book will be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in the fields in which Dr Adler has worked, and for historians of science studying physics in the final third of the twentieth century, a period in which an enduring synthesis was achieved.

Quantum Mechanics in Phase Space by Cosmas K Zachos,David B Fairlie,Thomas L Curtright Pdf

Wigner's quasi-probability distribution function in phase space is a special (Weyl) representation of the density matrix. It has been useful in describing quantum transport in quantum optics; nuclear physics; decoherence, quantum computing, and quantum chaos. It is also important in signal processing and the mathematics of algebraic deformation. A remarkable aspect of its internal logic, pioneered by Groenewold and Moyal, has only emerged in the last quarter-century: it furnishes a third, alternative, formulation of quantum mechanics, independent of the conventional Hilbert space, or path integral formulations. In this logically complete and self-standing formulation, one need not choose sides — coordinate or momentum space. It works in full phase space, accommodating the uncertainty principle, and it offers unique insights into the classical limit of quantum theory. This invaluable book is a collection of the seminal papers on the formulation, with an introductory overview which provides a trail map for those papers; an extensive bibliography; and simple illustrations, suitable for applications to a broad range of physics problems. It can provide supplementary material for a beginning graduate course in quantum mechanics. Contents:The Wigner FunctionSolving for the Wigner FunctionThe Uncertainty PrincipleEhrenfest's TheoremIllustration: The Harmonic OscillatorTime EvolutionNondiagonal Wigner FunctionsStationary Perturbation TheoryPropagatorsCanonical TransformationsThe Weyl CorrespondenceAlternate Rules of AssociationThe Groenwold–van Hove Theorem and the Uniqueness of MBs and ∗-ProductsOmitted MiscellanySelected Papers: Brief Historical Outline Readership: Advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students and researchers in physics, quantum computing, chemistry and information processing. Keywords:Phase Space Quantization;Wigner Functions;Star Products;DeformationsReviews:“… the authors have struck the right note in their choice of presentation and also their decision as to what to omit, since the subject matter covers a very broad range … the authors have performed an excellent job in presenting a timely and very useful resource for investigators, in potentially many areas requiring quantum physics, who wish to use quasi-probability functions, particularly the Wigner function. I highly recommend it.”International Journal of Quantum Information

Formation And Evolution Of Black Holes In The Galaxy: Selected Papers With Commentary by Hans A Bethe,Gerald E Brown,Chang-hwan Lee Pdf

In published papers H A Bethe and G E Brown worked out the collapse of large stars and supernova explosions. They went on to evolve binaries of compact stars, finding that in the standard scenario the first formed neutron star always went into a black hole in common envelope evolution. C-H Lee joined them in the study of black hole binaries and gamma ray bursts. They found the black holes to be the fossils of the gamma ray bursts. From their properties they could reconstruct features of the burst and of the accompanying hypernova explosions.This invaluable book contains 23 papers on astrophysics, chiefly on compact objects, written over 23 years. The papers are accompanied by illuminating commentary. In addition there is an appendix on kaon condensation which the editors believe to be relevant to the equation of state in neutron stars, and to explain why black holes are formed at relatively low masses.

Essence Of A Genius, The: A Tribute To Yoichiro Nambu by Lars Brink,Pierre Ramond Pdf

Yoichiro Nambu was one of the giants in the physics of the last century. His profound ideas in fundamental physics are still playing an important role and are being rediscovered over and over again.He preferred to share some of his deepest insights in talks, rather than publications, but Nambu's papers and talks were not easy to understand. Like the Japanese gentleman he was, he did not want to humiliate the reader with obvious statements. Even if it is an interpretation, it fits very well with his character of a very polite and considerate human being with a self-reliance inside him that he did not show on the outside. It is no wonder that many of his breakthroughs were not immediately appreciated by his contemporaries, with a late award of a well-deserved Nobel Prize. He was probably the only one in the highest stratum of physicists who was respected by everybody.The purpose of this book, half-history, half-physics is to trace Nambu's progress formulating some of his greatest ideas. It is structured in seven chapters, describing a paper or a series of papers (or talks) where Nambu's originality and genius emerge. Each chapter begins with a historical background section that sets the physics climate of the time, followed by a somewhat detailed discussion of his papers/talks.This tribute to Nambu hopes that he will be remembered and admired for many years to come.
