Quantum Theory of Real Materials is a collection of articles by leading researchers in condensed matter physics, highlighting recent advances in the use of quantum theory to explain and predict the properties of real materials.
Quantum Theory of Real Materials covers the many exciting developments at the forefront of quantum theory of materials research. The volume is divided into six major sections covering electronic structure and quantum dynamics; semiconductors, insulators and metals; surfaces, interfaces and clusters; materials under pressure; superconductivity; and fullerenes, superhard materials and other novel materials.
Quantum Theory of Real Materials is an excellent resource for researchers interested in learning about the most advanced discoveries in quantum theory of materials and applying that knowledge in the laboratory. Students will also find this volume to be a clear introduction and reference.

Potentiality, Entanglement and Passion-at-a-Distance: Quantum Mechanical Studies for Abner Shimony, Volume Two (Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science) (Vol.1)
Potentiality, Entanglement and Passion-at-a-Distance is a book for theoretical physicists and philosophers of modern physics. It treats a puzzling and provocative aspect of recent quantum physics: the apparent interaction of certain physical events that cannot share any causal connection. These are said to be `entangled’ in some way, but an explanation remains elusive. Abner Shimony – to whom the book is dedicated – and others suggest the need to revive the category of what may be seen as a metaphysical potentiality. Abner has described these events without actions to link them as `passion at a distance’: not active, but passive. The discussions gathered here are written by a truly remarkable cast of scientists and philosophers and shed new light on the most profound puzzles of our times.

Quantization and Non-holomorphic Modular Forms (Lecture Notes in Mathematics)
Quantization and Non-holomorphic Modular Forms (Lecture Notes in Mathematics)

This is a new approach to the theory of non-holomorphic modular forms, based on ideas from quantization theory or pseudodifferential analysis. Extending the Rankin-Selberg method so as to apply it to the calculation of the Roelcke-Selberg decomposition of the product of two Eisenstein series, one lets Maass cusp-forms appear as residues of simple, Eisenstein-like, series. Other results, based on quantization theory, include a reinterpretation of the Lax-Phillips scattering theory for the automorphic wave equation, in terms of distributions on R2 automorphic with respect to the linear action of SL(2,Z).

Higher-Order Numerical Methods for Transient Wave Equations
“To my knowledge [this] is the first book to address specifically the use of high-order discretizations in the time domain to solve wave equations. [...] I recommend the book for its clear and cogent coverage of the material selected by its author.” –Physics Today, March 2003

Experimental Metaphysics: Quantum Mechanical Studies for Abner Shimony, Volume One (Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science)

Experimental Metaphysics is intended for theoretical physicists and philosophers of science and is devoted to fundamental issues in the quantum domain. The book presents a number of discussions of experiments, theoretical puzzles and alternative interpretations, and philosophical treatments of the metaphysical foundations of science and the way these throw a scientific light on metaphysics. Hence the title: `experimental metaphysics’ is a term coined by Abner Shimony, to whom the book is dedicated.
This collection of 16 scientific and philosophical essays by leading physicists, philosophers and historians of science deals with current research and the most basic issues in quantum physics.

Classical, Semi-classical and Quantum Noise

David Middleton was a towering figure of 20th Century engineering and science and one of the founders of statistical communication theory. During the second World War, the young David Middleton, working with Van Fleck, devised the notion of the matched filter, which is the most basic method used for detecting signals in noise. Over the intervening six decades, the contributions of Middleton have become classics. This collection of essays by leading scientists, engineers and colleagues of David are in his honor and reflect the wide influence that he has had on many fields. Also included is the introduction by Middleton to his forthcoming book, which gives a wonderful view of the field of communication, its history and his own views on the field that he developed over the past 60 years. Focusing on classical noise modeling and applications, Classical, Semi-Classical and Quantum Noise includes coverage of statistical communication theory, non-stationary noise, molecular footprints, noise suppression, Quantum error correction, and other related topics.
