| Summary: |
This volume is selected from the First through Fourth International Symposia on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics. The International Symposia on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in the Light of New Technology (ISQMs) provide a unique interdisciplinary forum where distinguished theorists and experimentalists of diverse fields of research gather to discuss basic problems in quantum mechanics in the light of new technology. This volume collects 51 papers selected from over 200 papers by many distinguished scientists. It includes articles by C. N. Yang, J. A. Wheeler, Y. Nambu, L. Esaki and M. P. A. Fisher, to name just a few, and contains topics ranging from quantum measurements to quantum cosmology. |
