On Klauder's Path

A Field Trip : Essays in Honor of John R. Klauder

By: Grard G. Emch,G. C. Hegerfeldt,Ludwig Streit

This volume contains contributions by friends, colleagues and associates of John R Klauder on the occasion of his 60th birthday.Klauder's scientific work embraces vast territories from quantum theories to general relativity, optics and chaotic dynamics. A recurrent theme in his research is the role played by coherent states, in particular, in connection with path integral formulations of quantization. Perhaps at a less lofty level, this concept has had at least two spectacular applications: as a powerful investigative tool in quantum optics and as a precursor to wavelets. In a different vein, Klauder also attacked specific, non-renormalizable but exactly soluble, hard-core models in field theory, where he uncovered what has since been called the Klauder phenomenon.The contributors to this volume represent the special brand of mathematicians and physicists John Klauder helped define throughout his seminal career in the industrial and academic worlds.

Coherent States

Applications in Physics and Mathematical Physics

By: John R. Klauder,Bo-Sture Skagerstam

This volume is a review on coherent states and some of their applications. The usefulness of the concept of coherent states is illustrated by considering specific examples from the fields of physics and mathematical physics. Particular emphasis is given to a general historical introduction, general continuous representations, generalized coherent states, classical and quantum correspondence, path integrals and canonical formalism. Applications are considered in quantum mechanics, optics, quantum chemistry, atomic physics, statistical physics, nuclear physics, particle physics and cosmology. A selection of original papers is reprinted.

A Modern Approach to Functional Integration

By: John R. Klauder

This text takes advantage of recent developments in the theory of path integration and attempts to make a major paradigm shift in how the art of functional integration is practiced. The techniques developed in the work will prove valuable to graduate students and researchers in physics, chemistry, mathematical physics, and applied mathematics who find it necessary to deal with solutions to wave equations, both quantum and beyond. A Modern Approach to Functional Integration offers insight into a number of contemporary research topics, which may lead to improved methods and results that cannot be found elsewhere in the textbook literature. Exercises are included in most chapters, making the book suitable for a one-semester graduate course on functional integration.

Enhanced Quantization: Particles, Fields & Gravity

By: John R Klauder

This pioneering book addresses the question: Are the standard procedures of canonical quantization fully satisfactory, or is there more to learn about assigning a proper quantum system to a given classical system? As shown in this book, the answer to this question is: The standard procedures of canonical quantization are not the whole story!This book offers alternative quantization procedures that complete the story of quantization. The initial chapters are designed to present the new procedures in a clear and simple manner for general readers. As is necessary, systems that exhibit acceptable results with conventional quantization lead to the same results when the new procedures are used for them. However, later chapters examine selected models that lead to unacceptable results when quantized conventionally. Fortunately, these same models lead to acceptable results when the new quantization procedures are used.

Gauge Theories in the Twentieth Century

By: John C. Taylor

By the end of the 1970s, it was clear that all the known forces of nature (including, in a sense, gravity) were examples of gauge theories, characterized by invariance under symmetry transformations chosen independently at each position and each time. These ideas culminated with the finding of the W and Z gauge bosons (and perhaps also the Higgs boson). This important book brings together the key papers in the history of gauge theories, including the discoveries of: the role of gauge transformations in the quantum theory of electrically charged particles in the 1920s; nonabelian gauge groups in the 1950s; vacuum symmetry-breaking in the 1960s; asymptotic freedom in the 1970s. A short introduction explains the significance of the papers, and the connections between them.

Quantum Drama

From the Bohr-Einstein Debate to the Riddle of Entanglement

By: Jim Baggott,John L. Heilbron

Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely baffling. From the moment of its inception, its founders struggled to understand its meaning. This struggle was most famously encapsulated in the debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein; Quantum Drama tells the story of their engagement and its legacy.
