Product Description
The first systematic attempt to consider the full quantum-electrodynamical interaction (QED). DLC: Condensed matter.

From the Publisher

Up until now the dominant view of condensed matter physics hasbeen that of an "electrostatic MECCANO" (erector set, forAmericans). This book is the first systematic attempt to consider thefull quantum-electrodynamical interaction (QED), thus greatlyenriching the possible dynamical mechanisms that operate in theconstruction of the wonderful variety of condensed matter systems,including life itself. A new paradigm is emerging, replacing the"electrostatic MECCANO" with an "electrodynamic NETWORK," which buildscondensed matter through the long range (as opposed to the "shortrange" nature of the usual electrostatic forces) electrodynamicalinteraction; this interaction creates "coherent configurations" of theelementary systems (atoms and molecules), which oscillate in phasewith a coherent macroscopic (and classical) electromagnetic fieldthat, through the strong interaction with matter, remains trappedinside it.
