Dynamics, Information and Complexity in Quantum Systems (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The aim of this book is to o?er a self-consistent overview of a series of - sues relating entropy, information and dynamics in classical and quantum physics. My personal point of view regarding these matters is the result of what I had the good fortune to learn in the course of the years from various scientists: Heide Narnhofer in the ?rst place, who introduced me to qu- tum dynamical entropies and was a precious guide ever since, then Robert Alicki, Mark Fannes, Giancarlo Ghirardi, Andreas Knauf, John Lewis, - o?rey Sewell, Franco Strocchi, Walter Thirring, Armin Uhlmann. To me, all of them have been a constant example of rigorous mathematics and physical intuition jointly at work. Last but not least, my deep gratitude goes to my family and to the many friends on whom I could always count for support and encouragement with a special thought for Traude and Wolfgang Georgiades.

Autorenporträt

Fabio Benatti is an Associate Professor of the Department of Physics at the University of Trieste, Italy. He received the degree in Physics from the University of Trieste and the PhD in Mathematical Physics from SISSA - the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste. He was post-doctoral fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the University of Vienna and at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. His research interests include open quantum systems, quantum many-body physics, quantum information and quantum entropies. Also, Prof. Benatti is keen on exploring algorithmic complexity issues at the interface between classical and quantum behaviors.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This book fits very well with the recent trends in theoretical and mathematical physics exploiting the interrelations between quantum theory, statistical mechanics and information theory. ... The book is clearly written and contains a reasonable amount of elementary background material illustrated by numerous examples, and therefore can serve very well students at the graduate level and researchers entering the field of quantum dynamics and quantum information." (Robert Alicki, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 c)
