Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling

A coherent and self-contained account of macroscopic quantum phenomena for graduate students and researchers.

Autorentext
Shin Takagi is Professor of Physical Sciences at Fuji Tokoha University and is probably best known for the Leggett-Takagi equation explaining the spin dynamics of superfluid helium 3.

Zusammenfassung
A coherent and self-contained account of macroscopic quantum phenomena, and the application of macroscopic quantum tunneling to the Schrödinger's cat problem. Assuming knowledge of only elementary quantum mechanics, this book emphasises conceptual aspects rather than technical details, providing a firm introduction to the subject for graduate students and researchers.
