Download or read book Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in the Light of New Technology written by Yoshimasa A. Ono and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses fundamental problems in quantum physics, with emphasis on quantum coherence and decoherence. Papers coveting the wide range of quantum physics are included: atom optics, quantum optics, quantum computing, quantum information, cryptography, macroscopic quantum phenomena, mesoscopic physics, physics of precise measurements, and fundamental problems in quantum physics. The book will serve not only as a good introduction to quantum coherence and decoherence for newcomers in this field, but also as a reference for experts.
