Light and vacuum: the wave-particle nature of the light and the quantum vacuum. electromagnetic theory and quantum electrodynamics beyond the standard model, Sheppard, Charles R.c. (professor, Professor, School Of Biological Sciences, University Of Warwick, Uk) Davy, Simone (head Of School, Head Of School,
Light and Vacuum presents a synthesis of selected fundamental topics of electromagnetic wave theory and quantum electrodynamics (QED) and analyzes the main theoretical difficulties encountered to ensure a coherent mathematical description of the simultaneous wave-particle nature of light, put in evidence by the experiments. The notion and the role of the quantum vacuum, strongly related to light, are extensively investigated.
Classical electrodynamics issued from Maxwell's equations revealed the necessity of introducing the notion of volume for an electromagnetic wave to stand entailing precise values of cut-off wavelengths to account for the shape and dimensions of the surrounding space. Conversely, in QED, light is considered to be composed of point particles disregarding the conceptual question on how the frequency of oscillating electric and magnetic fields may be attributed to a point particle.
To conciliate these concepts, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the author's work, including innovative contributions on the quantization of the vector potential amplitude at a single photon state, the non-local simultaneous wave-particle mathematical representation of the photon and finally the quantum vacuum. The purpose of the advanced elaborations is to raise questions, give hints and answers, and finally aspire for further theoretical and experimental studies in order to improve our knowledge and understanding on the real essence of Light and Vacuum.

Описание: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Motorpsycho (initiated 1989 at Trondertun, Melhus, Norway) is a band from Trondheim. Their music can generally be defined as psychedelic rock, but they also mix in elements from metal, jazz, post-rock, pop and many other musical styles. The members of the band are Bent Saether (born February 18, 1969, bass/vocals), Hans Magnus "Snah" Ryan (born December 31, 1969, guitar/vocals) and Kenneth Kapstad (born April 20, 1979 drums). Until March 2005, Hakon Gebhardt (born June 21, 1969, drums) was also an integral part of the band. A press release concerning his departure is published at the Unofficial Website. In December 2007 it was announced that former Gate drummer Kenneth Kapstad was the new drummer in the band as well as an official band member.

Описание:
Taking a heuristic approach to relativistic quantum mechanics, Practical Quantum Electrodynamics provides a complete introduction to the theory, methodologies, and calculations used for explaining the physical interaction of charged particles.
This book combines the principles of relativity and quantum theory necessary for performing the calculations of the electromagnetic scattering of electrons and positrons and the emission and absorption of photons. Beginning with an introduction of the wave equations for spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles, the author compares and contrasts the relativistic and spin effects for both types of particles. He emphasizes how the relativistic treatment of quantum mechanics and the spin-1/2 degree of freedom are necessary to describe electromagnetic interactions involving electron scattering and points out the shortfalls of the wave-equation approach to relativistic quantum mechanics. Developing the Feynman rules for quantum electrodynamics by example, the book offers an intuitive, hands-on approach for performing fundamental calculations. It also illustrates how to perform calculations that can be related to experiments such as diagrams, lifetimes, and cross sections. Practical Quantum Electrodynamics builds a strong foundation for further studies and research in theoretical and particle physics, particularly relativistic quantum field theory or nonrelativistic many-body theory.
This book uses an array of different approaches to describe photosynthesis, ranging from the subjectivity of human perception to the mathematical rigour of quantum electrodynamics. This interdisciplinary work draws from fields as diverse as astronomy, agriculture, classical and quantum optics, and biology in order to explain the working principles of photosynthesis in plants and cyanobacteria.

Описание: Apart from updating the existing text of 1st edition two new chapters, namely, Mandelstam Variables and Symmetries of Scattering Amplitude and Regge Poles have been included in this edition. The former, that constitutes the seventh chapter of the book, introduces Mandelstam variables and describes at length the s-channel, t-channel and the u-channel processes for both the equal and unequal masses of participating particles. The conditions for the occurrence of these channel processes have been made explicit through the Mandelstam plot. Introducing scattering amplitude as the matrix element of S-matrix, the crossing and Bose symmetries of scattering amplitudes for s-, t-, u-channel scatterings have been explained and the analyticity of scattering amplitude has been elucidated through examples.
The topic Regge poles, describes the study of resonances and Regge poles that can be undertaken through the scattering process. Due to the significant role of partial waves in the chapter, the scattering process has been explained through the partial wave analysis and the scattering cross section has been expressed in terms of scattering amplitude and by the optical theorem.
Assignments have been given at the end of each chapter, which contain descriptive questions as well as problems. A new feature of the book is that it has a substantial number of objective type questions to help aspirants of GATE, NET and related examinations.

Описание: Providing an accessible textbook, this volume illustrates the intimate connection between quantum mechanics and QED in two steps: first the quantization of free fields and then their interactions. The text contains solved problems to facilitate the application of the theory presented, as well as a useful appendix on the theory of distributions. The description of the quantization of various fields, and the clear presentation of theory and the most important interaction processes in QED make this textbook a useful guide for those studying physics at both the graduate and undergraduate level.
Описание: This novel approach is presented for the first time in book form. The author demonstrates that fundamental concepts and methods from phenomenological particle physics can be derived rigorously from well-defined general assumptions in a mathematically clean way.
A stand-alone introduction to specific integration problems in the probabilistic theory of stochastic calculus
Picking up where his previous book, A Modern Theory of Random Variation, left off, Gauge Integral Structures for Stochastic Calculus and Quantum Electrodynamics introduces readers to particular problems of integration in the probability-like theory of quantum mechanics. Written as a motivational explanation of the key points of the underlying mathematical theory, and including ample illustrations of the calculus, this book relies heavily on the mathematical theory set out in the author's previous work. That said, this work stands alone and does not require a reading of A Modern Theory of Random Variation in order to be understandable.
Gauge Integral Structures for Stochastic Calculus and Quantum Electrodynamics takes a gradual, relaxed, and discursive approach to the subject in a successful attempt to engage the reader by exploring a narrower range of themes and problems. Organized around examples with accompanying introductions and explanations, the book covers topics such as:
Stochastic calculus, including discussions of random variation, integration and probability, and stochastic processes.
Field theory, including discussions of gauges for product spaces and quantum electrodynamics.
Robust and thorough appendices, examples, illustrations, and introductions for each of the concepts discussed within.
An introduction to basic gauge integral theory.
The methods employed in this book show, for instance, that it is no longer necessary to resort to unreliable Black Box theory in financial calculus; that full mathematical rigor can now be combined with clarity and simplicity. Perfect for students and academics with even a passing interest in the application of the gauge integral technique pioneered by R. Henstock and J. Kurzweil, Gauge Integral Structures for Stochastic Calculus and Quantum Electrodynamics is an illuminating and insightful exploration of the complex mathematical topics contained within.
