Foundations Of Quantum Mechanics In The Light Of New Technology, Proceedings Of The 7th Intl Symp (Isqm-tokyo '01) : ISQM Tokyo 2001 - Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium, Hatoyama, Saitama

This book discusses fundamental problems in quantum physics, with emphasis on quantum coherence and decoherence. Papers covering the wide range of quantum physics are included: atom optics, quantum optics, quantum computing, quantum information, cryptography, macroscopic quantum phenomena, mesoscopic physics, physics of precise measurements, and fundamental problems in quantum physics.The book will serve not only as a good introduction to quantum coherence and decoherence for newcomers in this field, but also as a reference for experts.
