| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2000. |
| Description | XII, 345 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this book the process of decoherence is reviewed from both the theoretical and the experimental physicist's point of view. Implications of this important concept for fundamental problems of quantum theory and for chemistry and biology are also given. This broad review of decoherence addresses researchers and graduate students. It could also be used in seminar work |

| Title | Symbol and Physical Knowledge : On the Conceptual Structure of Physics |
| Author(s) | Ferrari, M;Stamatescu, I.-O |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2002. |
| Description | XV, 230 p. 1 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book tackles the question of the symbolic structure of physics, a topic which is implicit in any theory of knowledge, but one that often seems to be ignored as an explicit and central element in today's epistemological debates. The elucidation of this problem should benefit a number of ongoing discussions and can help to avoid much recurring confusion. The contributions to the book have been chosen so as to provide a coherent view, ultimately addressing the relation between the concepts used in science and the real world. The first part provides an introduction to the problem as it arises in physics, and to the modern history of symbols. The subject of the second part is the epistemological discussion taking place between physicists and philosophers about the role of symbols in our knowledge of Nature. The third part addresses key issues related to the methodology of physics and the character of its symbolic structures. The aim of this book is to provide a consistent, if not comprehensive, view, emphasizing aspects that are paradigmatic for the natural sciences as a whole |

| Title | Decoherence and the Appearance of a Classical World in Quantum Theory |
| Author(s) | Giulini, Domenico;Joos, Erich;Kiefer, Claus;Kupsch, Joachim;Stamatescu, I.-O;Zeh, H.D |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1996. |
| Description | IX, 366 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Decoherence, a concept known only to few physicists when the first edition appeared in 1996, has since become firmly established experimentally and understood theoretically, as well as widely reported in the literature. The major consequences of decoherence are the emergence of "classicality" in general, superselection rules, the border line between microscopic and macroscopic behavior in molecules and field theory, the emergence of classical spacetime, and the appearance of quantum jumps. The most important new developments in this rapidly evolving field are included in the second edition of this book, which has become a standard reference on the subject. All chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated. New fields of application now addressed span chaos theory, quantum information, neuroscience, primordial fluctuations in cosmology, black holes and string theory, experimental tests, and interpretational issues. While the major part of the book is concerned with environmental decoherence derived from a universal Schr??dinger equation, later chapters address related or competing methods, such as consistent histories, open system dynamics, algebraic approaches, and collapse models |
