Overview: Quantum measurement (Le., a measurement which is sufficiently precise for quantum effects to be essential) was always one of the most impor­ tant points in quantum mechanics because it most evidently revealed the difference between quantum and classical physics. Now quantum measure­ ment is again under active investigation, first of all because of the practical necessity of dealing with highly precise and complicated measurements. The nature of quantum measurement has become understood much bet­ ter during this new period of activity, the understanding being expressed by the concept

Overview: The text Quantum Mechanics - An Introduction has found many friends among physics students and researchers so that the need for a third edition has arisen. There was no need for a major revision of the text but I have taken the opportunity to make several amendments and improvements. A number of misprints and minor errors have been corrected and a few clarifying remarks have been added at various places. A few figures have been added or revised, in particular the three-dimensional density plots in Chap. 9. I am grateful to several colleagues for helpful comments, in particular to Pro

Overview: Articles by many of the leading researchers in physics and philosophy of physics.Wide range of topics in foundations of physics.Transcript of a wide-ranging discussion, between Smolin and Shimony, two.In July 2006, a major international conference was held at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada, to celebrate the career and work of a remarkable man of letters. Abner Shimony, who is well known for his pioneering contributions to foundations of quantum mechanics, is a physicist as well as a philosopher, and is highly respected among the intellectuals of both communit

Overview: This book is open access.Shows that liberty is by no means tantamount to license and irresponsible, self-centred behaviour.First philosophically coherent inclusion of the concerns for social, moral, a.In the light of growing political and religious fundamentalism, this open access book defends the idea of freedom as paramount for the attempt to find common ethical ground in the age of globality. The book sets out to examine as yet unexhausted ways to boost the resilience of the principle of liberalism. Critically reviewing the last 200 years of the philosophy of freedom, it revises t

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen.

Overview: Das Organisieren (als Tätigkeit) gehört zu den schwierigsten Aufgaben in Organisationen (als Institutionen) wie Unternehmungen und Behörden. Das Ergebnis des Organisierens ist die Organisation (als Funktion) einer Organisation (als Institution). Eine Unternehmung, eine Behörde können eine gute, eine weniger gute aber auch eine schlechte Organisation (als Funk­ tion) haben. Eine schlechte Organisation (als Funktion) kann eine Organisation (als Institution) in ihrer Existenz gefahrden, z. B. zum Konkurs fUhren. Wann ist eine Organisation (als Funktion) gut? Wann ist sie schlecht? Wie s

Overview: 1. 1. Overview of Numerical Quadrature The numerical evaluation of integrals is one of the oldest problems in mathematics. One can trace its roots back at least to Archimedes. The task is to compute the value of the definite integral of a given function. This is the area under a curve in one dimension or a volume in several dimensions. In addition to being a problem of great practi­ cal interest it has also lead to the development of mathematics of much beauty and insight. Many portions of approximation theory are directly applicable to integration and results from areas as diverse a
