Book Description
Accessible exploration of one of the most exciting areas of scientific inquiry - the nature of light. Following on from his bestseller, SCHRODINGER'S CAT, John Gribbin presents the recent dramatic improvements in experimental techniques that have enabled physicists to formulate and test new theories about the nature of light. He describes these theories not in terms of hard-to-imagine entities like spinning subnuclear particles, but in terms of the fate of two small cats, separated at a tender age and carried to opposite ends of the universe. In this way Gribbin introduces the reader to such new developments as quantum cryptography, through which unbreakable codes can be made, and goes on to possible future developments such as the idea that the ¿entanglement' of quantum particles could be a way to build a STAR TREK style teleportation machine.

Cats in Space and Other Places

Publisher: Baen Books
ISBN: 1625795394
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Space. The Feline Frontier. It has been said (by Mark Twain) that “If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.” In this volume we explore the many and manifest reasons why humans should voluntarily accord first place in space to their feline brethren. From Robert A. Heinlein’s “Ordeal in Space” in which the merest kitten confers the gift of courage on his human, to Cordwainer Smith’s “Ballad of Lost C’mell,” which answers the very question of what would be the outcome of the melding of human and cat, we offer here sixteen reasons why cats are Number One in our book. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

ISBN: 1594745889
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
The ultimate gift for cat lovers everywhere—100 illustrated and unbelievably true tales of the remarkable felines who made their mark on science, history, art, government, and religion. If you don’t believe that one cat has the power to alter civilization, then you’ve obviously never heard of Tibbles, the cat who single-handedly wiped out an entire species. Or Ahmedabad, a Siamese kitten who sparked riots throughout Pakistan. Or Snowball, the cat who helped to convict dozens of murderers and criminals. Or Felix, the first cat to explore outer space. These are just 4 of the 100 Cats Who Changed Civilization, and this book honors their extra-ordinary contributions to science, history, art, government, religion, and more. Here, you’ll also meet cats who… • filed a lawsuit • were slapped with a restraining order • inspired great works of literature and classical music • telephoned the police to save the life of their owner These beautifully illustrated true stories are a tribute to the intelligence, bravery, and loving nature of cats all over the world.

Schrödinger’s Cat
Author: Devajit Bhuyan
Publisher: Ukiyoto Publishing
ISBN: 9359206326
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Like Einstein’s theory of relativity, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, the Schrodinger’s wave equation is fascinating inquisitive minds and physics lovers for long time. As physics goes deeper and deeper, more questions are coming out. The dark energy, antimatter, parallel universe, quantum entanglement etc are complicated physics for common man. But physics and poetry, both are inner and deeper expression, explanation of nature. Physics and poetry are complementary to each other. Neither physics can explain everything about nature, truth, and reality nor poetry can describe nature, truth, and reality through our emotions. Since beginning of modern poetry, a few scientists and science students are writing poetry to enrich literature world. When the Nobel Prize for physics for the year 2022 was given to physicists for experiments on quantum physics, it encouraged me for fusion of physics and poetry and write this book “Schrodinger’s Cat”. The sudden departure of my beloved wife from this planet also pushed me to emotional heights and forced me to take refuse in poetry. We hope, one day physics will find out God equation and fundamental truth why and how the universe came in to being, what is the purpose of existence of our universe, and our lives. Whether the universe came from something or nothing, the big bang or no big bang, and its reality or illusion in the domain of time, every truth will come out, but I may not be in the domain of time. This poetry book is composed to explain nature and physics in a simple poetic way for everyone, as majority of people think, neither physics nor poetry their cup of tea. When physics becomes hazy, poetry can speak in its own way about nature and reality. This book is also an attempt for fusion of physics with poetry or fusion of poetry with physics.

Exploring the Quantum
Author: Serge Haroche
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191523240
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been long illustrated by thought experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrödinger's cat. These experiments have now become real, with single particles - electrons, atoms, or photons - directly unveiling the strange features of the quantum. State superpositions, entanglement and complementarity define a novel quantum logic which can be harnessed for information processing, raising great hopes for applications. This book describes a class of such thought experiments made real. Juggling with atoms and photons confined in cavities, ions or cold atoms in traps, is here an incentive to shed a new light on the basic concepts of quantum physics. Measurement processes and decoherence at the quantum-classical boundary are highlighted. This volume, which combines theory and experiments, will be of interest to students in quantum physics, teachers seeking illustrations for their lectures and new problem sets, researchers in quantum optics and quantum information.
