| Title | The Message of Quantum Science : Attempts Towards a Synthesis |
| Author(s) | Blanchard, Philippe;Fr??hlich, J??rg |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015. |
| Description | XVIII, 348 p. 37 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This collection of essays is above all intended to pay tribute to the fact that while QM today is a refined and incredibly successful instrument, many issues concerning the internal consistency and the interpretation of this theory are still not nearly as well understood as they ought to be.?? In addition, whenever possible these essays take the opportunity to link foundational issues to the many exciting developments that are often linked to major experimental and technological breakthroughs in exploiting the electromagnetic field and, in particular, its quantum properties and its interactions with matter, as well as to advances in solid state physics (such as new quantum Hall liquids, topological insulators and graphene). The present volume also focuses on various areas, including new interference experiments with very large molecules passing through double-slits, which test the validity of the Kochen-Specker theorem; new tests of the violation of Bell???s inequalities and the consequences of entanglement; new non-demolition measurements and tests of ???wave-function collapse??? to name but a few. These experimental developments have raised many challenging questions for theorists, leading to a new surge of interest in the foundations of QM, which have puzzled physicists ever since this theory was pioneered almost ninety years ago.?? The outcome of a seminar program of the same name on foundational issues in quantum physics (QM), organized by the editors of this book, and addressing newcomers to the field and more seasoned specialists alike, this volume provides a pedagogically inspired snapshot view of many of the unresolved issues in the field of foundational QM |

| Title | Mathematical Analysis of Urban Spatial Networks |
| Author(s) | Blanchard, Philippe;Volchenkov, Dimitri |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009. |
| Description | XIV, 184 p. 123 illus., 16 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Cities can be considered to be among the largest and most complex artificial networks created by human beings. Due to the numerous and diverse human-driven activities, urban network topology and dynamics can differ quite substantially from that of natural networks and so call for an alternative method of analysis. The intent of the present monograph is to lay down the theoretical foundations for studying the topology of compact urban patterns, using methods from spectral graph theory and statistical physics. These methods are demonstrated as tools to investigate the structure of a number of real cities with widely differing properties: medieval German cities, the webs of city canals in Amsterdam and Venice, and a modern urban structure such as found in Manhattan. Last but not least, the book concludes by providing a brief overview of possible applications that will eventually lead to a useful body of knowledge for architects, urban planners and civil engineers |

| Title | New Methods and Results in Non-linear Field Equations : Proceedings of a Conference Held at the University of Bielefeld, Federal Republic of Germany, 7???10 July 1987 |
| Author(s) | Blanchard, Philippe;Dias, Joao-Paulo;Stubbe, Joachim |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1989. |
| Description | VII, 136 p. 2 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Quantum effects may be modelled by means of stochastic perturbation of non-linear partial differential (field) equations. Contributions to this field of research are collected in this volume. Finite dimensional stochastically perturbed Hamiltonian systems and infinite dimensional white noise analysis are treated. The main part concerns problems encountered in deterministic equations. Papers treat the existence of solutions for given initial data, the existence of non-linear bound states or solitary waves including a thorough discussion of various approaches to stability, and global properties (e.g. time decay properties) for non-linear wave equations. This volume provides a good survey of present-day research in non-linear problems of quantum theory for researchers and graduate students |

| Title | Variational Methods in Mathematical Physics : A Unified Approach |
| Author(s) | Blanchard, Philippe;Br??ning, Erwin |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1992. |
| Description | XII, 410 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The first edition (in German) had the prevailing character of a textbook owing to the choice of material and the manner of its presentation. This second (translated, revised, and extended) edition, however, includes in its new parts considerably more recent and advanced results and thus goes partially beyond the textbook level. We should emphasize here that the primary intentions of this book are to provide (so far as possible given the restrictions of space) a selfcontained presentation of some modern developments in the direct methods of the cal?? culus of variations in applied mathematics and mathematical physics from a unified point of view and to link it to the traditional approach. These modern developments are, according to our background and interests: (i) Thomas-Fermi theory and related theories, and (ii) global systems of semilinear elliptic partial-differential equations and the existence of weak solutions and their regularity. Although the direct method in the calculus of variations can naturally be considered part of nonlinear functional analysis, we have not tried to present our material in this way. Some recent books on nonlinear functional analysis in this spirit are those by K. Deimling (Nonlinear Functional Analysis, Springer, Berlin Heidelberg 1985) and E. Zeidler (Nonlinear Functional Analysis and Its Applications, Vols. 1-4; Springer, New York 1986-1990) |

| Title | Quantum Future : From Volta and Como to Present and Beyond. Proceedings of Xth Max Born Symposium Held in Przesieka, Poland, 24-27 September 1997 |
| Author(s) | Blanchard, Philippe;Jadczyk, Arkadiusz |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1999. |
| Description | X, 246 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume presents detailed discussions of a number of unsolved conceptual and technical issues arising, in particular, in the foundations of quantum theory and the philosophy of science. The 14 contributions capture a wide variety of viewpoints and backgrounds. Some chapters deal primarily with the main experimental issues; others focus on theoretical and philosophical questions. In addition, attempts are made to systematically analyze ways in which quantum physics can be connected to the neurosciences and consciousness research |
