In der Hauptrolle: Franz, der ewig bekiffte Gymnasiast, der die Oberstufe lieber bis zum Umfallen wiederholt, als – Gott bewahre – erwachsen zu werden und sich der fürchterlich komplizierten Welt da draußen zu stellen. Mit im Gepäck sein Dachs MC, der ideale beste Freund. In den Nebenrollen: Franz' Kumpel Rambo Riedel, der unvergleichliche und dezent alkoholabhängige Hausmeister Eryilmaz, die Ex-DDR-Lehrerin Doro Apfel – ach, und dann ist da natürlich noch Venezuela, das Mädchen aus der Nachbarschaft, heißblütig, militant und andauerndes Thema aller Tag- und Nachtträume von Franz.
"...little Odyssey, a little Ulysses; the story of one day's journey, skillfully playing in tandem with another, life-long journey."
Remarkable recent developments in the field of quantum communications and quantum information processing include the achievement of quantum teleportation, quantum communication channels based on entangled states, and the discovery of quantum computing algorithms. The present book addresses the physical foundations of the subject, as well as the technological problems, discussing such aspects as photonics, quantum imaging, engineered entanglement in atomic and other physical systems, Bose-Einstein condensation, and decoherence. Indispensable reading for graduates and Ph.D. students in departments of physics, electrical and electronic engineering, mathematics, and computer science seeking both an orientation as well as advanced training in the field.
This textbook is intended to accompany a two-semester course on quantum mechanics for physics students. Along with the traditional material covered in such a course (states, operators, Schrödinger equation, hydrogen atom), it offers in-depth discussion of the Hilbert space, the nature of measurement, entanglement, and decoherence – concepts that are crucial for the understanding of quantum physics and its relation to the macroscopic world, but rarely covered in entry-level textbooks. The book uses a mathematically simple physical system – photon polarization – as the visualization tool, permitting the student to see the entangled beauty of the quantum world from the very first pages. The formal concepts of quantum physics are illustrated by examples from the forefront of modern quantum research, such as quantum communication, teleportation and nonlocality. The author adopts a Socratic pedagogy: The student is guided to develop the machinery of quantum physics independently by solving sets of carefully chosen problems. Detailed solutions are provided.
This new Research Topic is, in part, a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the game-changing “neural correlates of consciousness” concept, first proposed as part of Crick and Koch’s 1990 “neurobiological theory of consciousness.” After thirty years of research and theory-building, scholars in the science of consciousness are perhaps not much closer to a widely-accepted theory of consciousness.
Information Design provides citizens, business and government with a means of presenting and interacting with complex information. It embraces applications from wayfinding and map reading to forms design; from website and screen layout to instruction. Done well it can communicate across languages and cultures, convey complicated instructions, even change behaviours. Information Design offers an authoritative guide to this important multidisciplinary subject. The book weaves design theory and methods with case studies of professional practice from leading information designers across the world. The heavily illustrated text is rigorous yet readable and offers a single, must-have, reference to anyone interested in information design or any of its related disciplines such as interaction design and information architecture, information graphics, document design, universal design, service design, map-making and wayfinding.
Information theory is essentially about correlations, and the novel approach of Bananaworld is to get at what's counterintuitive about quantum information by considering correlations between normally mundane experiences that every reader can relate to.
