Libro que me han dado: Decoherence and quantum measurements

por davidgp el 13/07/2007

Hace tiempo que no toco nada serie de mecánica cuántica. Desde que terminé mi licenciatura en física, se puede decir que realmente no la he tocado y que me he dedicado exclusivamente a la informática. No por ello me ha dejado de interesar. Por lo que puedo leer de la contraportada, Decoherence and quantum measurements por Mikio Namiki, Saverio Pascazio y Hiromichi Nakazato, se presenta con un ensayo muy interesante para refrescar mis conocimientos de cuántica y abordar el problema del colapso de la función de ondas.

Decoherence and Quantum Measurements

De la contraportada

The quantum measurement problem is one of the most fascinating and challenging topics in physics both theoretically and experimentally. It involves deep questions and the use of very sophisticated and elegant techniques. After analysing the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and of the Copenhagen interpretation, this book reviews the most important approaches to the measurement problem and rigorously reformulates the «collapse of the wave function» by measurement, as dephasing process quantitetively characterized by an order parameter (called the decoherence parameter), according to the many-Hilbert-space approach to the problem.

The book deals not only with the measurement processes (including imperfect measurements), but also with related interference and mesoscopic phenomena, by means of general arguments, solvable models and numerical simulations. The quantum Zeno effect and the issue of irreversibility are also discussed.
