Description for Quantum Mechanics and Its Emergent Macrophysics
Hardback. The quantum theory of macroscopic systems is an area of science that serves to relate the properties of physical objects to those of their constituent particles. This book provides an approach, based on a 'macrostatistical mechanics', which contrasts with the standard microscopic treatments of many-body problems. Num Pages: 304 pages, 9 line illus. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 19. Weight in Grams: 571.
The quantum theory of macroscopic systems is a vast, ever-developing area of science that serves to relate the properties of complex physical objects to those of their constituent particles. Its essential challenge is that of finding the conceptual structures needed for the description of the various states of organization of many-particle quantum systems. In this book, Geoffrey Sewell provides a new approach to the subject, based on a "macrostatistical mechanics," which contrasts sharply with the standard microscopic treatments of many-body problems. Sewell begins by presenting the operator algebraic framework for the theory. He then undertakes a macrostatistical treatment of both ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Mechanics and Its Emergent Macrophysics
"A clear, well-paced and compact exposition which, through a nice intertwining of physics and mathematics, leaves the reader with a rather complete grasp of the beautiful theoretical construction that goes from the algebraic quantum mechanical framework to thermodynamics, phase transitions and dynamical phase transitions... It offers a road map to a number of central problems in mathematical statistical mechanics. It ... Read more
