Description
RARE comprehensive collection of 49 papers on the meaning of quantum theory as it is disclosed in the measurement process, with contributions from the preeminent 20th-century physicists, such as Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Karl Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, and others. The first group of papers highlights the famous dialogue between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, with description of quantum theory`s revolutionary concept, the elementary quantum phenomenon. Papers in other sections deal with the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen "paradox", "hidden variables", delayed-choice experiments, entropy increase in the light of quantum theory, quantum consequences for the capacity of an information channel, and recent Soviet and American work on "quantum non-demolition" experiments. Also included are Wigner`s lectures on the quantum theory of measurement, as well as translations of London and Bauer`s classic treatment of the same subject, Born`s statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics, Heisenberg`s introduction of the principle of indeterminism, Schrödinger`s "cat paradox", and Bohr`s and Rosenfeld`s analysis of the measurability of electromagnetic field quantities. 258x178mm. XXVIII+811 pages. Illustrated Softcover. Cover curved. Cover edges, corners and spine edges worn. Rear cover creased. Pen inscription on front whitepage upper corner. Last page slightly wrinkled. Binding spartly visible between pages 538-539. [SUMMARY]: This rear exhaustive textbook on quantum theory and measurement is in good condition.
