Title Time in Quantum Mechanics - Vol. 2 Author(s) Muga, Gonzalo;Ruschhaupt, Andreas;del Campo, Adolfo Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009. Description X, 423 p : online resource Abstract Note The treatment of time in quantum mechanics continues to be a key challenge in the foundation of quantum theory. This book follows Time in Quantum Mechanics???Volume 1 and is the second volume to detail the problems, attempts and achievements in defining, formalizing and measuring different time quantities in quantum theory. It touches upon numerous related issues as well. Time in Quantum Mechanics???Volume 2 opens with a brief historical overview. It then offers eleven tutorial reviews which cover many open questions regarding fundamental concepts and time observables as well as a number of quantum dynamical effects and their associated characteristic time scales. In addition, the volume contains a tutorial review on atomic clocks that explains that while we do not know what time is, we know very well how to measure it with exceptional accuracy. Thorough and lucid, this book is written as an introductory guide for newcomers to the subject. However, it is also useful as a reference for the expert. ISBN,Price 9783642031748 Keyword(s) 1.
