Quantum Superposition

Quantum Superposition

Mark P. Silverman

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
2010
nidottu
Coherence, entanglement, and interference arise from quantum superposition, the most distinctive and puzzling feature of quantum physics. Silverman, whose extensive experimental and theoretical work has helped elucidate these processes, presents a clear and engaging discussion of the role of quantum superposition in diverse quantum phenomena such as the wavelike nature of particle propagation, indistinguishability of identical particles, nonlocal interactions of correlated particles, topological effects of magnetic fields, and chiral asymmetry in nature. He also examines how macroscopic quantum coherence may be able to extricate physics from its most challenging quandary, the collapse of a massive degenerate star to a singularity in space in which the laws of physics break down. Explained by a physicist with a concern for clarity and experimental achievability, the extraordinary nature of quantum superposition will fascinate the reader not only for its apparent strangeness, but also for its comprehensibility.
Resignation and Ecstasy: The Moral Geometry of Collective Self-Destruction: Volume Three of Sacrifice and Self-Defeat
Once again, for the first time, Marx and Durkheim join forces while exploring the moral economy of neoliberalism. Resignation and Ecstasy provides a fresh perspective on the immortal vortex of sacred energies pulsating beneath the peculiar logic of modern accumulation. Relying on dialectical methods, classical sociology and psychoanalysis are reconstituted within an Hegelian social ontology to differentiate the ephemeral from the eternal aspects of social life.

What sort of home would you create for yourself if you could build whatever you wanted—if money, as they say, were no object? Over the course of his firm’s 30-year history, American architect Mark P. Finlay has been in the privileged position of helping clients answer that very question. This first reprint and revised edition of Country Houses: The Architecture of Mark P. Finlay, originally published in 2018, showcases the dream homes Finlay has designed for some of America’s wealthiest and most sophisticated families. The renowned architect and interior designer works in the United States’ most storied pastoral locations, including the South Carolina lowlands, Virginia horse country, coastal New England, and the Rocky Mountains. Whether historic restorations or ground-up builds, Finlay’s attention to detail and focus on fine craftsmanship make the magnificent homes look and feel as if they’ve lived on their sites for centuries. This beautifully presented monograph offers gorgeous photography of 12 superbly designed country residences. Each home is accompanied by an intimate, detailed architectural account that conveys Finlay’s skill and passion for creating residences that telegraph a distinct sense of place and a unique appreciation for their owners’ aspirations.

Ferdinand Columbus, son of Christopher Columbus and author of the first published account of a voyage to the New World, was also the owner of one of the largest private libraries assembled during the Renaissance and the most important early collection of prints. Although the collection has vanished, about half of it has been reconstructed by Mark McDonald from information found in a detailed inventory that survives in Seville. This beautifully produced book catalogues 110 of the most significant prints in Columbus's collection. The introductory chapters discuss Columbus's life and work and show how the reconstruction of his collection has radically transformed our understanding of the print industry in Renaissance Europe.
The Color of Dinosaurs

The Color of Dinosaurs

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2027

A marvelously illustrated look at the fossil evidence of color in extinct life, from dinosaurs and mammoths to ancient insects and plants—revealing the amazing technologies and fossils that allow us to visualize the prehistoric world in more detail than ever The colors of dinosaurs and other extinct organisms are typically considered as being lost to time. Rare fossils, however, contain remnants of ancient pigments or structures that manipulated light to create color, allowing scientists to make predictions about the hues and patterns of species extinct for millions of years. The study of such fossils, first collected centuries ago, has been revolutionized in recent decades as new technology has allowed for increasingly sophisticated assessments of colors in dinosaurs and other ancient reptiles, as well as fish, mammals, invertebrates, and even plants and microbes. This book explores the evolution of color across billions of years of evolution, explaining how extinct color palettes can be reconstructed as well as what details still elude us. Written and illustrated by one of the world’s leading paleoartists, The Color of Dinosaurs blends an artist’s eye for the nature with a paleontologist’s expertise to present prehistoric life as you have never seen it before. More than 150 illustrations, photographs, and graphics that showcase the amazing array of color and pattern data found in the fossil record Reconstructs extinct species and environments with the hues and tones predicted by paleontological science, showing the appearance of feathered and scaly dinosaurs, flying and swimming reptiles, ancient reefs, Ice Age mammals, the early days of Earth, and more Reveals the diverse means used to predict ancient coloration, from analyses of ancient pigments to mapping the distribution of biological color on evolutionary trees, and even using cave paintings to inform depictions of prehistoric mammals Outlines the long history and modern science of paleocolor restoration and explores what reconstructing color in ancient organisms tells us about ancient ecology and behavior Traces the brilliant diversity of color of the modern natural world to their evolutionary roots
Qualified Types

Qualified Types

Jones Mark P.

Cambridge University Press
1994
sidottu
This book describes the use of qualified types to provide a general framework for the combination of polymorphism and overloading. For example, qualified types can be viewed as a generalization of type classes in the functional language Haskell and the theorem prover Isabelle. These in turn are extensions of equality types in Standard ML. Other applications of qualified types include extensible records and subtyping. Using a general formulation of qualified types, the author extends the Damas/Milner type inference algorithm to support qualified types, which in turn specifies the set of all possible types for any term. In addition, he describes a new technique for establishing suitable coherence conditions that guarantee the same semantics for all possible translations of a given term. Practical issues that arise in concrete implementations are also discussed, concentrating in particular on the implementation of overloading in Haskell and Gofer, a small functional programming system developed by the author.
Probing the Atom

Probing the Atom

Silverman Mark P.

Princeton University Press
2000
sidottu
The many-faceted efforts to understand the structure and interactions of atoms over the past hundred years have contributed decisively and dramatically to the explosive development of physics. There is hardly a branch of modern physical science that does not in some seminal way rely on the fundamental principles and mathematical and experimental insights that derive from these studies. In particular, the drive to understand the singular features of the hydrogen atom--simultaneously the archetype of all atoms and the least typical atom--spurred many of the twentieth century's advances in physics and chemistry. This book gives an in-depth account of the author's own penetrating experimental and theoretical investigations of the hydrogen atom, while simultaneously providing broad lessons in the application of quantum mechanics to atomic structure and interactions. A pioneer in the combined use of atomic accelerators and radiofrequency spectroscopy for probing the internal structure of the hydrogen atom, Mark Silverman examines the general principles behind this far-reaching experimental approach. Fast-moving protons are directed into gas or foil targets from which they capture electrons to become hydrogen atoms moving uniformly at very high speeds. During their rapid passage through the spectroscopy chamber of the atomic accelerator, these atoms reveal by the light they emit fascinating details of their internal configuration and the interactions that created them. Silverman examines the effects of radiofrequency fields on the hydrogen atom clearly and systematically, explaining the details of these interactions at different levels of complexity and refinement, each level illuminating the physical processes involved from different and complementary perspectives. Readers interested in diverse areas of physics and physical chemistry will appreciate both the theoretical and practical implications of Silverman's studies and the personal style with which he relays them. This is a work of not only an outstanding research physicist, but a fine teacher who understands how curiosity underlies all science.
Learning Politics From Sivaram

Learning Politics From Sivaram

Whitaker Mark P.

Pluto Press
2006
pokkari
This is the story of the life and impact of the political activist, journalist and freedom-fighter Sivaram Dharmeratnam, who dedicated his life to helping the Tamil people in Sri Lanka. He started out as an active participant in the war against the Sri Lankan government - and was labelled a 'terrorist'. Yet he stepped away from ruthless violence. Instead, he became a high profile journalist in the Sri Lankan press, and used his position to fearlessly critique the government, despite repeated threats on his life. Finally, in 2005, Sivaram was assassinated. This vivid life history also engages with much broader issues. It offers an intimate portrait of why an educated man adopts a position of supporting violence.
