Foundations of Quantum Theory

From Classical Concepts to Operator Algebras

By: Klaas Landsman

This book studies the foundations of quantum theory through its relationship to classical physics. This idea goes back to the Copenhagen Interpretation (in the original version due to Bohr and Heisenberg), which the author relates to the mathematical formalism of operator algebras originally created by von Neumann. The book therefore includes comprehensive appendices on functional analysis and C*-algebras, as well as a briefer one on logic, category theory, and topos theory. Matters of foundational as well as mathematical interest that are covered in detail include symmetry (and its "spontaneous" breaking), the measurement problem, the Kochen-Specker, Free Will, and Bell Theorems, the Kadison-Singer conjecture, quantization, indistinguishable particles, the quantum theory of large systems, and quantum logic, the latter in connection with the topos approach to quantum theory.

Q's Historical Legacy - XII - Pirates

By: N. P. Cooper

This volume contains Q's fictionalised accounts of: - - The 1527 wreck of the, Portuguese treasure ship, Saint Andrew and the seizure of its cargo by local gentry. - The first ruler, First White Rajah, of Sarawak who retired to Burraton on Dartmoor. - Westcountry folk who became pirates including Harry Glasby who became an accidental pirate on account of his seizure due to both his musical and navigational skills. The volume concludes with Sabine Baring-Gould's authoritative account of the life of the First White Rajah, Sir James Brooke, and a description of the life of the unfortunate and reluctant pirate Harry Glasby. Now surpassed in fame by his daughter's best friend, Daphne Du Maurier, Arthur Quiller-Couch was the pre-eminent Cornish writer of Victorian and Edwardian times and founder of the School of English Literature at Cambridge University. He is of particular interest since his fiction was very often informed by factual events now passed from memory.

Q's Historical Legacy - XIV - Scilly

By: N. P. Cooper

Now surpassed in fame as a writer by his daughter's best friend, Daphne du Maurier, Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch ('Q') was the pre - eminent Cornish writer of Victorian &Edwardian literature and found of the school of English Literature at Cambridge and is of particular interest as many of his tales are based on factual events which have now passed from memory. Scilly are an enchanted series of 5 inhabited and 140 uninhabited islands This volume contains two romantic and absolutely enchanting tales about the Isles of Scilly: - - The rescue of an infant from a shipwreck and events in his early life as he grows to adulthood (Tom Tiddler's Ground). - The influence of the Lord Proprietor and the Commandant of the military defences (Major Vigoreux) and the unexpected appearance, following the grounding of a trans - Atlantic steamship, of a mysterious, beautiful woman who changes peoples' lives for ever.

Quantization of Singular Symplectic Quotients

By: N.P. Landsman,Markus Pflaum,Martin Schlichenmaier

This is the first exposition of the quantization theory of singular symplectic (Marsden-Weinstein) quotients and their applications to physics. The reader will acquire an introduction to the various techniques used in this area, as well as an overview of the latest research approaches. These involve classical differential and algebraic geometry, as well as operator algebras and noncommutative geometry. Thus one will be amply prepared to follow future developments in this field.
