Quantum Dynamics of Simple Systems: Proceedings of the 44th Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics, University of Stirling, 15-26 August, 1994 FROM THE PUBLISHER Quantum Dynamics of Simple Systems will prove a useful tool for graduate students as well as experienced physicists and contains contributions from many leading experts in the field of Quantum Systems. The main objective is to provide an overview of the present range of Quantum Toys and to instruct newcomers in their use and exotic behaviours. In this respect it covers specific subjects of quantum dynamics in a competent and detailed way with the emphasis upon simple systems where few atoms or electrons are involved.
FROM THE CRITICS Booknews Provides an overview of a new class of quantum toys in which tests, experiments, and devices are developed to observe the interaction and localization of just a few atoms and/or a few photons. They have been used to reveal new non-classical effects, question the limit of the principle of correspondence, and force quantum behavior in semiconductors. Between the background material and prospects for the future, the 11 lectures focus finely on a few selected aspects rather than attempt a comprehensive coverage. Some of the topics are cavity quantum electrodynamics, quantum localization, the optical physics of quantum wells, and atomic hydrogen in magnetostatic traps. Also includes abstracts of about 60 poster papers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
