Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling Book

Macroscopic quantum phenomena are particularly important when considering the problem of Schrödinger's cat. This book contains a coherent and self-contained account of such phenomena, focusing on the central role played by macroscopic quantum tunneling. Shin Takagi begins with an explanation of the nature and significance of the cat problem. He discusses typical examples of macroscopic quantum tunneling. This book assumes only a knowledge of elementary quantum mechanics, and emphasises conceptual aspects rather than technical details. It provides a firm introduction to the subject for graduate students and researchers.Read More

  • Product Description

    This book contains a coherent and self-contained account of macroscopic quantum phenomena, focusing on the central role played by macroscopic quantum tunneling. Beginning with an explanation of the nature and significance of the Schrödinger's cat concept, Shin Takagi introduces macroscopic quantum tunneling. He deals with typical examples in detail, elucidating how quantum mechanical coherence may be lost (so-called "decoherence") or how it may be maintained despite the effects of environment and measurement processes. Assuming only a knowledge of elementary quantum mechanics, this book emphasizes conceptual aspects rather than technical details.
