The Physical Principles of the Quantum Theory
Book information
Description
The contributions of few contemporary scientists have been as far reaching in their effects as those of Nobel Laureate Werner Heisenberg. His matrix theory is one of the bases of modern quantum mechanics, while his "uncertainty principle" has altered our whole philosophy of science. In this classic, based on lectures delivered at the University of Chicago, Heisenberg presents a complete physical picture of quantum theory. He covers not only his own contributions, but also those of Bohr, Dirac, Bose, de Broglie, Fermi, Einstein, Pauli, Schrodinger, Somerfield, Rupp, ·Wilson, Germer, and others in a text written for the physical scientist who is not a specialist in quantum theory or in modern mathematics. Partial contents: introduction (theory and experiment, fundamental concepts); critique of physical concepts of the corpuscular theory (uncertainty relations and their illustration); critique of the physical concepts of the wave theory (uncertainty relations for waves, discussion of an actual measurement of the electromagnetic field); statistical interpretation of quantum theory (mathematical considerations, interference of probabilities, Bohr's complementarity); discussion of important experiments (C. T. R. Wilson, diffraction , Einstein-Rupp, emission, absorption and dispersion of radiation, interference and conservation laws, Compton effect, radiation fluctuation phenomena, relativistic formulation of the quantum theory). An 80-page appendix on the mathematical apparatus of the quantum theory is provided for the specialist. _cover.jpg 001-02.jpg 003-04.jpg 005-06.jpg 007-08.jpg 009-10.jpg 011-12.jpg 013-14.jpg 015-16.jpg 017-18.jpg 019-20.jpg 021-22.jpg 023-24.jpg 025-26.jpg 027-28.jpg 029-30.jpg 031-32.jpg 033-34.jpg 035-36.jpg 037-38.jpg 039-40.jpg 041-42.jpg 043-44.jpg 045-46.jpg 047-48.jpg 049-50.jpg 051-52.jpg 053-54.jpg 055-56.jpg 057-58.jpg 059-60.jpg 061-62.jpg 063-64.jpg 065-66.jpg 067-68.jpg 069-70.jpg 071-72.jpg 073-74.jpg 075-76.jpg 077-78.jpg 079-80.jpg 081-82.jpg 083-84.jpg 085-86.jpg 087-88.jpg 089-90.jpg 091-92.jpg 093-94.jpg 095-96.jpg 097-98.jpg 099-100.jpg 101-102.jpg 103-104.jpg 105-106.jpg 107-108.jpg 109-110.jpg 111-112.jpg 113-114.jpg 115-116.jpg 117-118.jpg 119-120.jpg 121-122.jpg 123-124.jpg 125-126.jpg 127-128.jpg 129-130.jpg 131-132.jpg 133-134.jpg 135-136.jpg 137-138.jpg 139-140.jpg 141-142.jpg 143-144.jpg 145-146.jpg 147-148.jpg 149-150.jpg 151-152.jpg 153-154.jpg 155-156.jpg 157-158.jpg 159-160.jpg 161-162.jpg 163-164.jpg 165-166.jpg 167-168.jpg 169-170.jpg 171-172.jpg 173-174.jpg 175-176.jpg 177-178.jpg 179-180.jpg 181-182.jpg 183-184.jpg 185-186.jpg 187-188.jpg 189-190.jpg 191-192.jpg z_counter-cover.jpg

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
