Dios sí juega a los dados con el universo: el ganador del Nobel de Física en 2022 reúne un siglo de debates y avances científicos.Este libro presenta el trabajo por el cual Alain Aspect se ganó el título de «pionero de la segunda revolución cuántica». Es también el resultado de su ...

Il primo libro in italiano del premio Nobel per la Fisica 2022 Alain Aspect, che ci racconta non solo la prima, ma soprattutto la seconda rivoluzione quantistica a cui lui ha partecipato direttamente.

A Nobel laureate offers a brief lesson on physics' biggest mystery, accessibly explaining the two quantum revolutions that changed our understanding of reality.At the start of the twentieth century, the first quantum revolution upset our vision of the world. New physics offered surprising realities, such as wave-particle duality, and led to major inventions: the transistor, the laser, and today's computers. Less known is the second quantum revolution, arguably init...

La première révolution quantique qui naît notamment sous l'impulsion d'Einstein au début du XXe siècle, bouleverse notre vision du monde, fait émerger des concepts surprenants comme la dualité onde-particule, et conduit à des inventions majeures : le transistor, le laser, les circuits intégrés des ordinateurs.Moins connu est le développement d'une deuxième révolution quantique initiée en 1935 par le débat entre Albert Einstein et Niels Bohr, et rendue possible à partir de la fin des...

Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have won the 2022 Nobel Prize for Material science. The threesome won "for their investigations with entrapped photons, laying out the infringement of Ringer's disparities and spearheading quantum data science".The award will be introduced in Stockholm in December and is worth 10 million kronor ($900,000). It will be shared similarly between the victors.Harley McDonald shall unravel the mysteries behind this great geniuses.The biograph...

Covering a number of important subjects in quantum optics, this textbook is an excellent introduction for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, familiarizing readers with the basic concepts and formalism as well as the most recent advances. The first part of the textbook covers the semi-classical approach where matter is quantized, but light is not. It describes significant phenomena in quantum optics, including the principles of lasers. The second part is devoted to the ...

This volume collects eleven papers written between 1991 and 2016, some of them unpublished, which explore various aspects of the architecture of grammar in a minimalist perspective. The phenomena that are brought to bear on the architectural issue come from a range of languages, among them French, European Portuguese, Welsh, German and English, and include clitic placement, expletive pronouns, resumption, causative structures, copulative and existential constructions, VP ellipsis, as well ...

Quantum physics, which offers an explanation of the world on the smallest scale, has fundamental implications that pose a serious challenge to ordinary logic. Particularly counterintuitive is the notion of entanglement, which has been explored for the past 30 years and posits an ubiquitous randomness capable of manifesting itself simultaneously in more than one place.This amazing 'non-locality' is more than just an abstract curiosity or paradox: it has entirely down-to-earth applica...

John Bell, FRS was one of the leading expositors and interpreters of modern quantum theory. He is particularly famous for his discovery of the crucial difference between the predictions of conventional quantum mechanics and the implications of local causality, a concept insisted on by Einstein. John Bell's work played a major role in the development of our current understanding of the profound nature of quantum concepts and of the fundamental limitations they impose on the applicability of...

Cell adhesion comes into play in almost all domains of life. The range of situations in which it occurs, involving organisms, living tissues, microorganisms or single cells, is endless. Cell adhesion is involved in the binding of a cell to a surface, extracellular matrix, or another cell using cell adhesion molecules. It is crucial in the formation

Pseudomonas volume 7 collects some of the most relevant andemerging issues in the biology of these microorganisms, and a number of otherimportant issues that were not collected in the previous volumes.The first six volumes of the Pseudomonas series covered the biology ofpseudomonads in a wide range of contexts, including the niches they inhabit,the taxonomic relations among its members of this group, the molecular biologyof ...
