Overview: Includes supplementary material: In the original formulation of quantum mechanics the existence of a precise border between a microscopic world, governed by quantum mechanics, and a macroscopic world, described by classical mechanics was assumed. Modern theoretical and experimental physics has moved that border several times, carefully investigating its definition and making available to observation larger and larger quantum systems. The present book examines a paradigmatic case of the transition from quantum to classical behavior: A quantum particle is revealed in a tracking chamber

Overview: Mit der zunehmenden Öffnung der Betriebswirtschaftslehre in Richtung verhaltens­ wissenschaftlich orientierte, qualitative Fragestellungen, gewinnen empirische Forschungsmethoden wie die qualitative Inhaltsanalyse und Mind-Mapping zunehmend an Bedeutung. In den letzten Jahren gab es zwar immer wieder "Belebungsversuche" der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse, allerdings bewegten sich diese Beiträge meist in spezifischen Forschungssegmenten der Psychologie, der Pädagogik und der Soziologie . . . Diese Entwicklung ist von Forschungen der Betriebswirtschaftslehre, trotz immer regeren Zuspruchs

Overview: Qualitätsmanagement von Dienstleistungen setzt Wissen über die Qualität des Produkts und die Qualitätsfähigkeit des Erstellungsprozesses voraus. Hierzu müssen Qualitätsmerkmale und Kennzahlen definiert und auf Konformität geprüft werden. Dies gilt insbesondere für komplexe Dienstleistungen, da mit deren Komplexität auch die Anforderungen an eine Qualitätsprüfung steigen. Vor dem Hintergrund der praktischen Beschäftigung mit Qualität von Studiengängen sowie mit Hilfe der Adaption des Qualitätsverständnisses der industriellen Produktion an die Spezifika von Dienstleistungen zeigt André

Overview: .Remarkable progress has recently been made in the application of quantumtrajectories as the computational tool for solving quantum mechanical problems. This is the first book to present these developments in the broader context of the hydrodynamical formulation of quantum dynamics. In addition to a thorough discussion of the quantum trajectory equations of motion, there is considerable material that deals with phase space dynamics, adaptive moving grids, electronic energy transfer, and trajectories for stationary states...On the pedagogical side, a number of sections of this book wi

Overview: In data publishing, the owner delegates the role of satisfying user queries to a third-party publisher. As the servers of the publisher may be untrusted or susceptible to attacks, we cannot assume that they would always process queries correctly, hence there is a need for users to authenticate their query answers. This book introduces various notions that the research community has studied for defining the correctness of a query answer. In particular, it is important to guarantee the completeness, authenticity and minimality of the answer, as well as its freshness. We present authent

Overview: With contributions by leading researcher in the field.Chapters written as both tutorial and state-of-the-art surveys.Can be used both as advanced course material and for self study.Includes supplement.Quantum gravity has developed into a fast-growing subject in physics and it is expected that probing the high-energy and high-curvature regimes of gravitating systems will shed some light on how to eventually achieve an ultraviolet complete quantum theory of gravity. Such a theory would provide the much needed information about fundamental problems of classical gravity, such as the init

Overview: Covers the hot topic of quantum acoustical imaging, highlighting both the theories and applications.Offers a valuable resource for researchers and engineers.Highlights the tremendous potential on the .This book highlights the theories and applications of quantum acoustical imaging which can be considered as a part of quantum technology. It starts with the theories and background principles of this new field  in depth.The examples of some present forms of available acoustical imaging which can be considered as quantum acoustical imaging are given such as  ultrasonics in the terahertz

Overview: Queer Lyrics fills a gap in queer studies: the lyric, as poetic genre, has never been directly addressed by queer theory. Vincent uses formal concerns, difficulty and closure, to discuss innovations specific to queer American poets. He traces a genealogy based on these queer techniques from Whitman, through Crane and Moore, to Ashbery and Spicer. Queer Lyrics considers the place of form in queer theory, while opening new vistas on the poetry of these seminal figures.978-1-349-63544-3978-1-137-06565-0

Overview: Ideal introduction to the basics and applications of quantum optics.Presents and explains new techniques that are driving the field forwards.Author‘s combined expertise allows a comprehensive coverageThis book describes the experimental and theoretical bases for the development of specifically quantum-mechanical approaches to metrology, imaging, and communication. In particular, it presents novel techniques developed over the last two decades and explicates them both theoretically and by reference to experiments which demonstrate their principles in practice. The particular technique

Overview: Provides a well-followed introduction to nonrelativistic scattering theory.Deals with the interaction of quantum particles.Presents the mathematical and physics-oriented aspects separately as much as .This book introduces the scattering theory of nonrelativistic systems, a standard tool for interpreting collision experiments with quantum particles at energies not too high. The goal is to explore the interaction between particles and their properties. The authors cover the basics of the theory through a detailed discussion of elastic scattering using the stationary Schrödinger equatio

Overview: This volume contains the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute "Quantum Optics and Experimental General Relativity" which was held in Bad Windsheim, Federal Republic of Germany, from August 16 to 29, 1981. At first glance, one might wonder why a meeting should cover these two topics, and a good bit of quantum measurement theory as well, all of which seem to be completely unrelated. The key to what one may call this grand unification lies in the effort, underway in a number of laboratories around the world, to detect gravitational radiation. Present research is pursuing the

Overview: Represents a more holistic approach to Qualitative Research than has been typical in the past.Offers a more post-modern interpretation that values the non-linear nature of qualitative research by intr.Qualitative Research is changing as a result of postmodern influences which have changed the way research is interpreted and understood. This has prompted questions which have been knocking at the door of qualitative research for some time now: Who is the researcher in this research account? How does the researcher relate to his/her research? How can the researcher who reads qualitative

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Greiner‘s lectures, which underlie these volumes, are internationally noted for their clarity, their completeness and for the effort that he has devoted to making physics an integral whole; his enthusiasm for his science is contagious and shines through almost every page. These volumes represent only a part of a unique and Herculean effort to make all of theoretical physics accessible to the interested student. Beyond that, they are of enormous value to the professional physicist and to all others working with quantum phenomena. Again and again the re
