| Title | Information and Its Role in Nature |
| Author(s) | Roederer, Juan G |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2005. |
| Description | XII, 235 p. 35 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Infromation and Its Role in Nature presents an in-depth interdisciplinary discussion of the concept of information and its role in the control of natural processes. After a brief review of classical and quantum information theory, the author addresses numerous central questions, including: Is information reducible to the laws of physics and chemistry? Does the Universe, in its evolution, constantly generate new information? Or are information and information-processing exclusive attributes of living systems, related to the very definition of life? If so, what is the role of information in classical and quantum physics? In what ways does information-processing in the human brain bring about self-consciousness? Accessible to graduate students and professionals from all scientific disciplines, this stimulating book will help to shed light on many controversial issues at the heart of modern science |

| Title | Modeling and Analysis of Transient Processes in Open Resonant Structures : New Methods and Techniques |
| Author(s) | Sirenko, Yuriy K;Str??m, Staffan;Yashina, Nataliya P |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2007. |
| Description | XIV, 353 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The principal goal of the book is to describe new accurate and robust algorithms for open resonant structures with substantially increased efficiency. These algorithms allow the extraction of complete information with estimated accuracy concerning the scattering of transient electromagnetic waves by complex objects. The determination and visualization of the electromagnetic fields, developed for realistic models, simplify and significantly speed up the solution to a wide class of fundamental and applied problems of electromagnetic field theory. The book presents a systematic approach to the study of electromagnetic waves scattering which can be introduced in undergraduate/postgraduate education in theoretical and applied radiophysics and different advanced engineering courses on antenna and wave-guide technology. On a broader level, the book should be of interest to scientists in optics, computational physics and applied mathematics |

| Title | Quantum Information, Computation and Cryptography : An Introductory Survey of Theory, Technology and Experiments |
| Author(s) | Benatti, Fabio;Fannes, Mark;Floreanini, Roberto;Petritis, Dimitri |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010. |
| Description | X, 350 p. 48 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This multi-authored textbook addresses graduate students with a background in physics, mathematics or computer science. No research experience is necessary. Consequently, rather than comprehensively reviewing the vast body of knowledge and literature gathered in the past twenty years, this book concentrates on a number of carefully selected aspects of quantum information theory and technology. Given the highly interdisciplinary nature of the subject, the multi-authored approach brings together different points of view from various renowned experts, providing a coherent picture of the subject matter. The book consists of ten chapters and includes examples, problems, and exercises. The first five present the mathematical tools required for a full comprehension of various aspects of quantum mechanics, classical information, and coding theory. Chapter 6 deals with the manipulation and transmission of information in the quantum realm. Chapters 7 and 8 discuss experimental implementations of quantum information ideas using photons and atoms. Finally, chapters 9 and 10 address ground-breaking applications in cryptography and computation |

| Title | Complex Hamiltonian Dynamics |
| Author(s) | Bountis, Tassos;Skokos, Haris |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. |
| Description | XXIV, 256 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book introduces and explores modern developments in the well established field of Hamiltonian dynamical systems. It focuses on high degree-of-freedom systems and the transitional regimes between regular and chaotic motion. The role of nonlinear normal modes is highlighted and the importance of low-dimensional tori in the resolution of the famous FPU paradox is emphasized. Novel powerful numerical methods are used to study localization phenomena and distinguish order from strongly and weakly chaotic regimes. The emerging hierarchy of complex structures in such regimes gives rise to particularly long-lived patterns and phenomena called quasi-stationary states, which are explored in particular in the concrete setting of one-dimensional Hamiltonian lattices and physical applications in condensed matter systems.?? The self-contained and pedagogical approach is blended with a unique balance between mathematical rigor, physics insights and concrete applications. End of chapter exercises and (more demanding) research oriented?? problems provide many opportunities to deepen the reader???s insights into specific aspects of the subject matter. ?? Addressing a broad audience of graduate students, theoretical physicists and applied mathematicians, this text combines the benefits of a reference work with those of a self-study guide for newcomers to the field |

| Title | Acoustics, Information, and Communication : Memorial Volume in Honor of Manfred R. Schroeder |
| Author(s) | Xiang, Ning;Sessler, Gerhard M |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XVIII, 461 p. 226 illus., 91 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book explores the life and scientific legacy of Manfred Schroeder through personal reflections, scientific essays, and Schroeder???s own memoirs. Reflecting the wide range of Schroeder???s activities, the first part of the book contains thirteen articles written by his colleagues and former students. Topics discussed include his early, pioneering contributions to the understanding of statistical room acoustics and to the measurement of reverberation time; his introduction of digital signal processing methods into acoustics; his use of ray tracing methods to study sound decay in rooms; and his achievements in echo and feedback suppression and in noise reduction. Other chapters cover his seminal research in speech processing including the use of predictive coding to reduce audio bandwidth which led to various code-excited linear prediction schemes, today used extensively for speech coding. Several chapters discuss Schroeder???s work in low-peak factor signals, number theory, and maximum-length sequences with key applications in hearing research, diffraction gratings, artificial reverberators, and de-correlation techniques for enhancing subjective envelopment in surround sound. In style, the articles range from truly scientific to conversationally personal. In all contributions, the relationship between the current research presented and Manfred Schroeder???s own fields of interest is, in general, evident. The second part of the book consists of Schroeder???s own memoirs, written over the final decade of his life. These recollections shed light on many aspects not only of Schroeder???s life but also on that of many of his colleagues, friends, and contemporaries. They portray political, social, and scientific events over a period that extends from pre-war to the present. These memoirs, written in an inimitable and witty style, are full of information, entertaining, and fun to read, providing key insight into the life and work of one of the greatest acousticians of the 20th century. Reflects on the life, work, and legacy of one of the greatest acousticians of the 20th century Features articles by leading researchers on the implications of Schroeder???s research today Covers a wide range of topics, from room acoustics, noise reduction, physical acoustics, and underwater acoustics to transducers, speech signal processing, and number-theory applications |

| Title | Entanglement and Decoherence : Foundations and Modern Trends |
| Author(s) | Buchleitner, Andreas;Viviescas, Carlos;Tiersch, Markus |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009. |
| Description | X, 320 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Entanglement and (de-)coherence arguably define the central issues of concern in present day quantum information theory. Entanglement being a consequence of the quantum mechanical superposition principle for composite systems, a better understanding of the environment-induced destruction of coherent superposition states is required to devise novel strategies for harvesting quantum interference phenomena. The present book collects a series of advanced lectures on the theoretical foundations of this active research field, from mathematical aspects underlying quantum topology to mesoscopic transport theory. All lectures start out from an elementary level and proceed along a steep learning curve. This makes the material particularly suitable for student seminars on the more fundamental theoretical aspects of quantum information, and equally useful as supplementary reading for advanced lectures on this topic |

| Title | Mathematical Methods in Time Series Analysis and Digital Image Processing |
| Author(s) | Dahlhaus, Rainer;Kurths, J??rgen;Maass, Peter;Timmer, Jens |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2008. |
| Description | XIV, 294 p. 109 illus., 13 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The aim of this volume is to bring together research directions in theoretical signal and imaging processing developed rather independently in electrical engineering, theoretical physics, mathematics and the computer sciences. In particular, mathematically justified algorithms and methods, the mathematical analysis of these algorithms, and methods as well as the investigation of connections between methods from time series analysis and image processing are reviewed. An interdisciplinary comparison of these methods, drawing upon common sets of test problems from medicine and geophysical/enviromental sciences, is also addressed. This volume coherently summarizes work carried out in the field of theoretical signal and image processing. It focuses on non-linear and non-parametric models for time series as well as on adaptive methods in image processing |

| Title | Entropy and Information |
| Author(s) | Volkenstein, Mikhail V |
| Publication | Basel, 1. Birkh??user Basel
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2009. |
| Description | X, 210 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This is just...entropy, he said, thinking that this explained everything, and he repeated the strange word a few times. 1 ? Karel Capek , ???Krakatit??? This ???strange word??? denotes one of the most basic quantities of the physics of heat phenomena, that is, of thermodynamics. Although the concept of entropy did indeed originate in thermodynamics, it later became clear that it was a more universal concept, of fundamental signi?cance for chemistry and biology, as well as physics. Although the concept of energy is usually considered more important and easier to grasp, it turns out, as we shall see, that the idea of entropy is just as substantial???and moreover not all that complicated. We can compute or measure the quantity of energy contained in this sheet of paper, and the same is true of its entropy. Furthermore, entropy has remarkable properties. Our galaxy, the solar system, and the biosphere all take their being from entropy, as a result of its transferenceto the surrounding medium. Thereis a surprisingconnectionbetween entropyandinformation,thatis,thetotalintelligencecommunicatedbyamessage. All of this is expounded in the present book, thereby conveying informationto the readeranddecreasinghis entropy;butitis uptothe readertodecidehowvaluable this information might be |
