The Second Quantum Revolution - Jaeger, Lars

. .

Résumé :
This book tells the story of the second quantum revolution which will shape the 21^st century as much as the first quantum revolution shaped the 20^th century. It provides unique orientation in today's discussion and the latest progress on the interpretation of quantum physics and its further technological potential. As you read this book the first prototypes of this revolution are being built in laboratories worldwide. Super-technologies such as nanotechnology, quantum computers, quantum information processing, and others will soon shape our daily lives, even if physicists themselves continue to disagree on how to interpret the central theory of modern physics. The book will thus also touch on the profound philosophical questions at the heart of quantum mechanics....

Biographie:
Dr. Lars Jaeger, 48, studied physics, mathematics, philosophy, and history and spent several years in theoretical physics research in the area of quantum field theory and chaos theory. He is author of numerous books on popular science, writes his own blogs, and appears frequently in the media on questions of science and technology. As an impetuous lateral thinker he founded two companies that use mathematical methods to model global capital markets....

Sommaire:

Dr. Lars Jaeger studierte Physik, Mathematik, Philosophie und Geschichte in Bonn und Paris und forschte mehrere Jahre in der theoretischen Physik im Bereich der Quantenfeldtheorien und Chaostheorie (Universit?t Bonn, Max-Planck-Institut f?r Physik komplexer Systeme Dresden). In der N?he von Z?rich gr?ndete er mehrere Unternehmen, die mit mathematischen Methoden die Bereiche modellieren, die uns besonders stark bewegen und beeinflussen: Kapitalm?rkte und Klimaver?nderungen. In zahlreichen B?chern sowie auf seinem Blog und auf SciLogs lotete er f?r eine Vielzahl an naturwissenschaftlichen Themen deren faszinierende Schnittstellen mit Philosophie und gesellschaftlicher Relevanz aus.

Dieses Buch ist sein Verm?chtnis....
