Random Walk Through Fifty Years Of Rydberg Physics, A

by F Barry Dunning

~~105,64€~~ 84,51€ 20% OFF

 This book provides an overview of the evolution of Rydberg physics over the past 50 years, highlighting key advances in the field and the new avenues of research they have spawned. The practical applications that have emerged from this work are also discussed.Rydberg atoms — atoms in which one electron is excited to a high-lying excited state — possess unusual physical properties. They are very large, only weakly bound, and easily perturbed by external fields. Many of the reactions that occur during their interactions with other atoms and molecules are unique to Rydberg atoms and provide a new window into processes such as electron–molecule scattering, resonant collisional energy transfer, the creation of dipole-bound anions, and charge transfer at surfaces. Their response to one or more short pulsed electric fields makes it possible to engineer the atomic wavefunctions and create 'designer' atoms tailored for use in studies of chaos and quantum–classical correspondence. Their sensitivity to external fields is also exploited for applications in quantum sensing. Rydberg states are foundational to the creation of a variety of ultralong-range molecules whose size and binding mechanisms are very different from those of 'typical' molecules. Rydberg atoms interact strongly with one another through controllable long-range interactions, which now underpin many studies in quantum electrodynamics, quantum simulation, and quantum information processing. In chronicling these key discoveries, this book offers an enlightening account of Rydberg atom research, a field that continues to expand into new and exciting areas.Contents: <ul><li>Introduction</li><li>Labeling Quantum States</li><li>Response to External Fields</li><li>Rydberg Atom Lifetimes</li><li>Sources of Rydberg Atoms</li><li>Collisions</li><li>The Kicked Rydberg Atom</li><li>Giant Rydberg-Based Molecular Systems</li><li>Autoionization</li><li>Quantum Sensing</li><li>Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics</li><li>Quantum Information Processing</li><li>Quantum Simulation</li></ul>Readership:The book is aimed at researchers interested in the field of Rydberg physics and its applications, as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics.

Continuum Physics With Application To Cosmology

by Lalaonirina Rakotomanana Ravelonarivo

~~121,01€~~ 96,81€ 20% OFF

 This book presents a rigorous and unified treatment of generalized continuum theory and its applications to gravitation, electromagnetism, and cosmology. The text emphasizes the role of covariance and conservation laws in generalized continua, exploring symmetries, gauge invariance, and the variational principles that underpin gravitation and electromagnetism. Concepts such as torsion, curvature, and Riemann-Cartan manifolds are treated in depth, providing the foundation for modeling complex spacetime structures and the behavior of fields within them.Building on these mathematical foundations, the book applies continuum physics to cosmology and relative gravitation. It examines geodesics and autoparallels, the Einstein and Einstein-Cartan spacetimes, and the interplay between gravitational and electromagnetic fields. Advanced models incorporate torsion, isotropy, and generalized volume forms to address contemporary questions, including dark matter, dark energy, and the accelerating expansion of the universe.By bridging abstract continuum theory with cosmological applications, the book provides insight into both the local and large-scale dynamics of spacetime, including FLRW metrics, Schwarzschild and de Sitter spacetimes, and torsion-influenced cosmologies.

Demystify Classic Particles, Fields, & Relativity Lagrang .

by Gerd Wagner e Matthew W Guthrie

~~67,23€~~ 53,78€ 20% OFF

 This book addresses a core gap in traditional physics education by exploring the Lagrangian formalism and its profound applications across several domains. Its primary aim is to answer the persistent question: why is the classical Lagrangian defined as L=T–V, a concept often assumed without explanation in standard undergraduate texts.We employ a coordinate transformation-driven approach, treating coordinate transformations as central to how physical laws are constructed, interpreted, and applied. This methodology allows for a clear derivation of the classical Lagrangian and highlights the invariance of the Euler-Lagrange equation under arbitrary coordinate transformations, which serves as the main motivation for our exploration.While beginning with classical mechanics, the scope of our book naturally extends to unify concepts across a wide range of theoretical physics, including field theories, electrodynamics, and relativity. The text uses the Lagrangian's unique properties to provide an exact mathematical definition for the principle of relativity; establishing what it means for physical laws to be 'the same' in different coordinate systems. We also introduce advanced topics, such as the formulation necessary for General Relativity and the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian. The book is designed to provide undergraduate accessibility while guiding readers through the deep structural symmetries of physical laws.Contents: <ul><li>Introduction</li><li>Coordinates and Coordinate Transformations</li><li>Lagrangians and Classical Mechanics</li><li>Beyond Introductory Mechanics</li><li>Lagrangians and Classical Non-Relativistic Field Theories</li><li>Special Relativity</li><li>The Lagrangian Formulation of Particle Dynamics</li><li>Foundations of Relativistic Field Lagrangians</li><li>Relativistic Electrodynamics</li><li>Gauge and Lorentz Transformations</li><li>General Relativity</li><li>Concluding Remarks</li><li>Appendix A: Raised and Lowered Indices in General Relativity</li></ul>Readership: This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, including those engaged in academic study or self-directed learning. It is also suitable for instructors and professors teaching theoretical mechanics, electrodynamics, and relativity. In addition, the book will be of value to researchers and practitioners working in general relativity, particle physics, and classical and quantum field theory, as well as those in applied mathematics and mathematical physics.

Introduction To Imaging From Scattered Fields

by Michael A Fiddy e R. Shane Ritter

~~71,54€~~ 57,23€ 20% OFF

 Obtain the Best Estimate of a Strongly Scattering Object from Limited Scattered Field DataIntroduction to Imaging from Scattered Fields presents an overview of the challenging problem of determining information about an object from measurements of the field scattered from that object. It covers widely used approaches to recover information about the objects and examines the assumptions made a priori about the object and the consequences of recovering object information from limited numbers of noisy measurements of the scattered fields.The book explores the strengths and weaknesses of using inverse methods for weak scattering. These methods, including Fourier-based signal and image processing techniques, allow more straightforward inverse algorithms to be exploited based on a simple mapping of scattered field data.The authors also discuss their recent approach based on a nonlinear filtering step in the inverse algorithm. They illustrate how to use this algorithm through numerous two-dimensional electromagnetic scattering examples. MATLAB(R) code is provided to help readers quickly apply the approach to a wide variety of inverse scattering problems.In later chapters of the book, the authors focus on important and often forgotten overarching constraints associated with exploiting inverse scattering algorithms. They explain how the number of degrees of freedom associated with any given scattering experiment can be found and how this allows one to specify a minimum number of data that should be measured. They also describe how the prior discrete Fourier transform (PDFT) algorithm helps in estimating the properties of an object from scattered field measurements. The PDFT restores stability and improves estimates of the object even with severely limited data (provided it is sufficient to meet a criterion based on the number of degrees of freedom).
