Call Number	530.12
Author	Caldeira, Amir O., 1950- author.
Title	An introduction to macroscopic quantum phenomena and quantum dissipation / Amir O. Caldeira, Instituto de Física Gleb Wataghin, Universidade Estadual de Campinas. An Introduction to Macroscopic Quantum Phenomena & Quantum Dissipation
Physical Description	1 online resource (xiv, 283 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	Elements of magnetism -- Elements of superconductivity -- Brownian motion -- Models for quantum dissipation -- Implementation of the propagator approach -- The damped harmonic oscillator -- Dissipative quantum tunneling -- Dissipative coherent tunneling -- Outlook -- Appendix A: Path integrals, the quantum mechanical propagator, and density operators -- Appendix B: The Markovian master equation -- Appendix C: Coherent-state representation -- Appendix D: Euclidean methods.
Summary	Reviewing macroscopic quantum phenomena and quantum dissipation, from the phenomenology of magnetism and superconductivity to the presentation of alternative models for quantum dissipation, this book develops the basic material necessary to understand the quantum dynamics of macroscopic variables. Macroscopic quantum phenomena are presented through several examples in magnetism and superconductivity, developed from general phenomenological approaches to each area. Dissipation naturally plays an important role in these phenomena, and therefore semi-empirical models for quantum dissipation are introduced and applied to the study of a few important quantum mechanical effects. The book also discusses the relevance of macroscopic quantum phenomena to the control of meso- or nanoscopic devices, particularly those with potential applications in quantum computation or quantum information. It is ideal for graduate students and researchers.
Subject	QUANTUM THEORY.
