Product Description: In the last decade the understanding of the relations between classical and quantum mechanics has advanced tremendously and the following broad themes are dealt with in this book:-• random matrices: a resurgence of an old theory brought in from nuclear physics, now the standard for analysing "signatures" of classical chaos in quantum systems;• the complex quantum behaviour of driven Hamiltonian systems and localization phenomena;• chaos in scattering systems and the properties of S-matrices;• spectra of quantum systems whose classical analogues are the geodesic flows on negatively curved compact manifolds;• the wealth of properties of wave functions for classically chaotic systems;• the rise and growth of the concept of chaos in all sectors of "physics of microscopic media": nuclear, atomic, molecular, solid-state physics...read more

Product Description: This book focuses on the new concepts and techniques which have deeply revitalized the field of quantum optics in the last decade. It is now possible to manipulate a simple quantum system (a single atom, ion or molecule, or a single mode of the radiation field) interacting with a well controlled environment...read more

Product Description: This school was concerned with surface properties of liquids at solid/liquid, liquid/liquid, gas/liquid interfaces. Renewal of interest in these domains belonging to classical physicochemistry appeared rather recently. This was motivated by the industrial importance of phenomena such as wetting of solids by liquids, interactions between colloidal particles, anchoring of liquid crystals, stabilization of liquid/liquid interfaces by amphiphilic molecules, and kinetics of foam...read more

Product Description: In geophysics, tomography is a technique which deduces some physical properties of the medium from the perturbations encountered by waves propagating through it. Thus tomography draws on a variety of disciplines, such as wave propagation in heterogeneous media, statistical estimation and inverse theory, and numerical modeling...read more

Product Description: These proceedings focus on aspects of disorder where quantum interferences are present. Such interferences occur on a mesoscopic scale, intermediate between the microscopic (e.g. atomic physics) and macroscopic scales (e.g. traditional condensed matter physics)...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: One of the greatest challenges that theoretical physics faces at the end of the century is to blend together the two revolutions of the beginning of the century, namely general relativity and quantum mechanics. One message that has become clear from the start and is common to both revolutions is that there is no limit to the level of sophistication of mathematics that will become essential to physics...read more
