Book Description

August 29, 2002 0198520638 978-0198520634
The physics of open quantum systems plays a major role in modern experiments and theoretical developments of quantum mechanics. Written for graduate students and readers with research interests in open systems, this book provides an introduction into the main ideas and concepts, in addition to developing analytical methods and computer simulation techniques.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"...an attractively self-contained introduction (and more) ... would provide a very welcome and timely addition to the literature on open quantum systems" P. Hayden, Centre for Quantum Computation, University of Oxford

"It would no doubt be welcomed by research workers interested in the field..." R. Loudon, Dept. of Electronic Systems Engineering, University of Essex
