Feynman Integral and Random Dynamics in Quantum Physics: A Probabilistic Approach to Quantum Dynamics (Mathematics and Its Applications (closed)) [Hardcover]

Z. Haba (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0792357353 | ISBN-13: 978-0792357353 | Publication Date: June 30, 1999 | Edition: 1st

This volume presents a mathematical theory of the Feynman integral based on probabilistic methods, which is applied to controllable approximations to Hamiltonian and dissipative quantum dynamics. A wide range of methods of random dynamical systems is discussed for models of quantum physics. The probabilistic method is considered an efficient tool for analytic and numerical approximations of the dynamics of large complex quantum systems. Audience: This book will be of interest to specialists in mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, stochastic processes, dynamical systems and computational physics. It can also be recommended as an introduction to problems of mathematical physics for graduate students of mathematics and theoretical physics.

This review is from: Feynman Integral and Random Dynamics in Quantum Physics: A Probabilistic Approach to Quantum Dynamics (Mathematics and Its Applications (closed)) (Hardcover)

First of all , this book is for the serious student of quantum physics , not for the layman looking for some fun beginner's book on quantum theory ! Having said that , this book alternates between very good and good . The part on feyman's integrals offers a clear insight into a complex subject but some applied mathematical concepts later on merit more discussion and the practical relevance needed to be highlighted more instead of getting lost in a maze of equations . But overall a highly recommened book for the serious student .
