Decoherence and entropy in complex systems
International Workshop on Decoherence, Information, Complexity and Entropy 2002 : Piombino, Italy)
1 online resource (xiii, 403 pages) : illustrations.
The contributions to this volume are based on selected lectures from the first international workshop on decoherence, information, complexity and entropy (DICE). These contributions reflect and acknowledge the growing importance of common concepts behind seemingly different fields such as quantum mechanics, general relativity and statistical physics in a form accessible to nonspecialist researchers. Many of the presentations include original results, which are published here for the first time.
Prologue -- Gravity and Cosmology -- Classical and Quantum Aspects -- Quantum Mechanics in Between -- Decoherence and Determinism -- Decoherence in Mesoscopic Systems -- Entropy, Chaos and Complexity.
