| Title | Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, Nathan Rosen : Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete? |
| Author(s) | Kiefer, Claus |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Birkh??user
2. Springer International Publishing, 2022. |
| Description | VII, 114 p. 7 illus., 3 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The work published by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) in 1935 is a classic in modern physics. It discusses, for the first time, the central feature of the quantum theory: entanglement. In general, systems are intertwined with each other in nature; that is, they have only one common, non-divisible state. This fact is responsible for all the oddities commonly associated with quantum theory, including the famous thought experiments with Schr??dinger???s cat and Wigner???s friend. The entanglement of quantum mechanics plays a central role in experiments with atoms and photons (Nobel Prize 2012 for Haroche and Wineland) and the planned construction of quantum computers. This book presents EPR???s original work amplified with a detailed commentary, which examines both the historical context and all aspects of entanglement. In particular, it focuses on the interpretation of quantum theory and its consequences for a basic understanding of nature |

| Title | One Hundred Years of Gauge Theory : Past, Present and Future Perspectives |
| Author(s) | De Bianchi, Silvia;Kiefer, Claus |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XII, 313 p. 28 illus., 12 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a multidisciplinary guide to gauge theory and gravity, with chapters by the world???s leading theoretical physicists, mathematicians, historians and philosophers of science. The contributions from theoretical physics explore e.g. the consistency of the unification of gravitation and quantum theory, the underpinnings of experimental tests of gauge theory and its role in shedding light on the relationship between mathematics and physics. In turn, historians and philosophers of science assess the impact of Weyl???s view on the philosophy of science. Graduate students, lecturers and researchers in the fields of history of science, theoretical physics and philosophy of science will benefit from this book by learning about the role played by Weyl???s Raum-Zeit-Materie in shaping several modern research fields, and by gaining insights into the future prospects of gauge theory in both theoretical and experimental physics. Furthermore, the book facilitates interdisciplinary exchange and conceptual innovation in tackling fundamental questions about our deepest theories of physics. Chapter ???Weyl???s Raum-Zeit-Materie and the Philosophy of Science??? is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com |

| Title | Quantum Gravity : From Theory to Experimental Search |
| Author(s) | Giulini, Domenico J. W;Kiefer, Claus;L??mmerzahl, Claus |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. |
| Description | XII, 402 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The relation between quantum theory and the theory of gravitation remains one of the most outstanding unresolved issues of modern physics. According to general expectation, general relativity as well as quantum (field) theory in a fixed background spacetime cannot be fundamentally correct. Hence there should exist a broader theory comprising both in appropriate limits, i.e., quantum gravity. This book gives readers a comprehensive introduction accessible to interested non-experts to the main issues surrounding the search for quantum gravity. These issues relate to fundamental questions concerning the various formalisms of quantization; specific questions concerning concrete processes, like gravitational collapse or black-hole evaporation; and the all important question concerning the possibility of experimental tests of quantum-gravity effects |

| Title | Decoherence and the Appearance of a Classical World in Quantum Theory |
| Author(s) | Joos, Erich;Zeh, H. Dieter;Kiefer, Claus;Giulini, Domenico J. W;Kupsch, Joachim;Stamatescu, Ion-Olimpiu |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. |
| Description | XII, 496 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book describes the phenomena that arise from the interaction between quantum systems and their environment. Since the first edition appeared in 1996, the concepts of decoherence have become firmly established experimentally and are now widely used in the literature. Its major consequences are the emergence of "classicality", superselection rules, the border line between microscopic and macroscopic behavior, the emergence of classical spacetime, and the appearance of quantum jumps. Most of the new developments in this rapidly evolving field are discussed in this second edition: 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 complementary or competing approaches, such as consistent histories, open system dynamics, algebraic methods, and collapse models |

| Title | Black Holes: Theory and Observation : Proceedings of the 179th W.E. Heraeus Seminar Held at Bad Honnef, Germany, 18???22 August 1997 |
| Author(s) | Hehl, Friedrich W;Kiefer, Claus;Metzler, Ralph J.K |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1998. |
| Description | XV, 519 p. 108 illus., 2 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Einstein's gravitational theory predicts the existence of black holes, objects so dense that light cannot escape their gravitational field. Several types of black hole may exist: mini black holes, stellar black holes, and supermassive black holes with millions of solar masses. Experimental evidence for the existence of stellar and supermassive black holes continues to mount, so what was once considered to be science! fiction, has now become reality. This book gives a broad comprehensive introduction and, at the same time, an overview of all aspects of black hole physics. It should be comprehensible to all students in physics, astrophysics, and mathematics. A well-illustrated introduction, selected exercises, and a number of pictures and diagrams help to make the content more accessible. The text discusses observations of black holes in galactic centres and binary systems, a theory of accretion disks, the general relativistic description of black holes, as well as the thermodynamics of black holes and Hawking radiation |

| 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 |
