Quantum leap

Abstract Since first developed in the early sixties, silicon chip technology has made vast leaps forward. From a rudimentary circuit with a mere handful of transisto...

Abstract Entropy is as important a concept as energy, but less well known. The two concepts were first distinguished in the middle of the 19th century. By 1900 entro...

Arising from a special session held at the 2010 North American Annual Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, this volume is an international cross-disciplinary collaboratio...

This chapter investigates the relation between visualizability and intelligibility, by means of an in-depth study of the transition from classical physics to quantum physics in the...

Chapter 12 discusses finding the basic biochemical defect in a disorder by first identifying the mutant gene itself, which was a quantum leap in the study and understanding of gene...

Quantum theory does not describe the world and so contributes little to natural philosophy: it implies neither that a particle can be in two places at once, that a cat can be neith...

Abstract The importance and the beauty of modern quantum field theory resides in the power and variety of its methods and ideas, which find application in domains as...
