Book is clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. A small indentation to the tip of upper outer corner of first leaves. Sturdy vinyl boards show gentle handling wear, short corner creases. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A comprehensive collection of research articles and reviews that delve into the fundamental aspects and latest developments in the intersection of probability theory and quantum physics. Part of the renowned series that explores the conceptual, mathematical, and practical issues at the heart of quantum mechanics and its probabilistic interpretations. Key features of the book include: - Quantum Foundations (the book provides deep insights into the foundational issues of quantum mechanics, addressing questions related to the interpretation of quantum states, measurement, and the role of probability in quantum theory); - Probability Theory (the volume examines the role of classical and quantum probability in the understanding and formulation of physical theories; this includes discussions on stochastic processes, random variables, and probabilistic models used in quantum physics); - Quantum Information Theory (the text explores how probability theory underpins various aspects of quantum information science, including quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and information transmission); - Mathematical Frameworks (several chapters are dedicated to the rigorous mathematical structures that support quantum theory, such as Hilbert spaces, operator algebras, and functional analysis; these frameworks are crucial for the formal development of quantum mechanics and its applications); - Philosophical Perspectives (the book includes contributions that discuss the philosophical implications of probabilistic approaches in quantum mechanics; this includes debates on realism, determinism, and the nature of quantum reality); - Experimental and Theoretical Studies (the volume features both theoretical explorations and experimental findings that illustrate the application of probabilistic methods to real-world quantum systems; this includes quantum optics, particle physics, and condensed matter physics); - Interdisciplinary Approach (reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of modern scientific research, the book bridges the gap between physics, mathematics, and philosophy; it fosters a deeper understanding of how probability and quantum mechanics intersect and influence each other); - Expert Contributions (edited by a leading figure in the field, Andrei Khrennikov, the book features contributions from an international array of experts; their diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research provide a broad and in-depth look at current trends and future directions); - Educational Value (this volume is an invaluable resource for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in physics, mathematics, and related fields; it offers a blend of tutorial content and advanced research topics, making it suitable for both learning and reference); - Comprehensive Coverage (topics covered in the book include quantum probability theory, contextuality, non-locality, Bell's theorem, quantum statistical mechanics, and the probabilistic structure of quantum theory). "Foundations of Probability and Physics 4" stands as a significant contribution to the ongoing dialogue between physics and probability theory. It is designed to provoke thought, inspire further research, and provide a solid foundation for understanding the probabilistic underpinnings of quantum mechanics. Whether for academic study, professional research, or philosophical inquiry, this volume offers valuable insights into one of the most intriguing areas of modern science. Seller Inventory # 009774
