  • Probability in Physics

    Foundations and Applications

    by Guido Boffetta, Angelo Vulpiani ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This textbook aims to bridge a longstanding gap by presenting a rigorous yet physics-centered approach to probability theory and its applications. Despite its foundational role across nearly all areas of physics, many students exhibit notable technical and conceptual gaps in even the most basic aspects of probability. Surprisingly, these issues can persist even among those specializing in ... Read more

  • Reductionism, Emergence and Levels of Reality

    The Importance of Being Borderline

    by Sergio Chibbaro, Lamberto Rondoni, Angelo Vulpiani ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Scientists have always attempted to explain the world in terms of a few unifying principles. In the fifth century B.C. Democritus boldly claimed that reality is simply a collection of indivisible and eternal parts or atoms. Over the centuries his doctrine has remained a landmark, and much progress in physics is due to its distinction between subjective perception and objective reality. This book ... Read more

  • Quantum Reality

    The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - a Game of Theories

    by Jim Baggott ...
    Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; and lots of seemingly spooky goings-on. But if we're prepared to be a little more specific about what we mean when we ... Read more

  • Quantum Physics: A First Encounter : Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    by Valerio Scarani ; Rachael Thew ...
    Quantum physics is often perceived as a weird and abstract theory, which physicists must use in order to make correct predictions. But many recent experiments have shown that the weirdness of the theory simply mirrors the weirdness of phenomena: it is Nature itself, and not only our description of it, that behaves in an astonishing way. This book selects those, among these typical quantum ... Read more
