Relativity, Symmetry and the Structure of the Quantum Theory

Quantum theory is one of the most successful of all physical theories. Our everyday world is dominated by devices that function because of knowledge of the quantum world. Yet many, physicists and non-physicists alike, find the theory which explains the beh

William Klink received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University. He was professor of physics for many years at the University of Iowa, and is now professor emeritus. His main research interests have centered around the study of symmetry, both in its mathematical formulations, and in its physical consequences.

Sujeev Wickramasekara received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Texas at Austin. He held the Weiss Instructorship in Physics and Astronomy at Rice University before moving to Grinnell College where he is now associate professor of physics. His main research interests include representation theory of groups and its applications to physics, resonance scattering and decay phenomena, and rigged Hilbert spaces.
