Description for Local Quantum Physics: "Fields, Particles, Algebras" (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)
Paperback. Gives an account of local quantum physics - the synthesis of quantum theory with the principle of locality. This book describes both the physical concepts and the mathematical structures and their consequences and assesses ideas, both thoroughly and critically. Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 408 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHDB; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 156 x 235 x 22. Weight in Grams: 588.
The new edition provided the opportunity of adding a new chapter entitled "Principles and Lessons of Quantum Physics". It was a tempting challenge to try to sharpen the points at issue in the long lasting debate on the Copenhagen Spirit, to assess the significance of various arguments from our present vantage point, seventy years after the advent of quantum theory, where, after ali, some problems appear in a different light. It includes a section on the assumptions leading to the specific mathematical formalism of quantum theory and a section entitled "The evolutionary picture" describing my personal conclusions.
