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.

In this book Raymond B. Marcin offers several reasons why a review and a reevaluation of Schopenhauer's theory of justice are worthwhile now, almost two hundred years after it was first formulated.

The Quantum Mechanics Solver is unique as it illustrates the application of quantum mechanical concepts to various fields of modern physics. It aims at encouraging the reader to apply quantum mechanics to research problems in fields such as molecular physics, condensed matter physics or laser physics. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students will find a rich and challenging source of material for further exploration.

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.

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.
