Beschreibung

"How does the 'classical' world emerge from our quantum mechanical universe? In this book, a pioneer of decoherence theory examines quantum foundations and exploits information theory to introduce "Quantum Darwinism" and answer this key question. Essential reading for students and researchers interested in the interpretation of quantum theory"--

Über den Autor

Wojciech Hubert Zurek is credited with developing the theory of decoherence. He is also known for Quantum Darwinism, the no-cloning theorem (a cornerstone of quantum information), and quantum discord. Applications of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism that describes the creation of topological defects in phase transitions range from cosmology to condensed matter physics. Member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society, Zurek is a recipient of the Smoluchowski and Los Alamos Medals and a Humboldt Prize. He is a Laboratory Fellow at Los Alamos, Doctor Honoris Causa of the University of Science and Technology in Cracow (AGH), the Jagiellonian University, and was Einstein Professor at the Ulm University.
