      The topology of chaos

      • 593 pages
      • 21 hours of reading

      This resource is essential for those seeking to deepen their understanding of chaotic systems beyond introductory concepts. The authors delve into the structure and classification of strange attractors, explaining how to extract necessary information from experimental data. The first edition has been invaluable for physicists and mathematicians focused on the topological analysis of dynamical systems, and this second edition incorporates significant theoretical and experimental advancements. Key improvements include a more accessible introduction to topological analysis for non-experts, addressing common challenges in chaotic dynamics such as unstable periodic orbits and bifurcation sequences. A new chapter on bounding tori enhances understanding of generality and boundary conditions. The edition also proposes a novel formalism using evolving triangulations to extend topological analysis to higher-dimensional systems. Additionally, it features a chapter on embeddings to clarify representations of chaotic systems, and an expanded chapter on traditional chaos measures to bridge familiar concepts with advanced methodologies. An appendix with frequently asked and open questions provides essential insights and guides readers to relevant sections, facilitating selective engagement with the material. This book stands out for its application of topological techniques to classify real physical systems, making it a vital guide for e

    • 2010

      In this cleverly conceived book, physicist Robert Gilmore makes accessible some complex concepts in quantum mechanics by sending Alice to Quantumland-a whole new Wonderland, smaller than an atom, where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory. Alice unusual encounters, enhanced by illustrations by Gilmore himself, make the Uncertainty Principle, wave functions, the Pauli Principle, and other elusive concepts easier to grasp.

      Scienza e Idee - 23: Alice nel paese dei quanti

      Le avventure della fisica

      • 247 pages
      • 9 hours of reading

      Più rapido del signor Bianconiglio, più imprevedibile delle collere della Regina di Cuori, più esclusivo del sorriso del Gatto del Cheshire è il mondo dei quanti che la fisica del Novecento ha rivelato a ricercatori che confessavano di "non credere ai propri occhi", cioè a quello che con formule ed esperimenti stavano dimostrando. Eppure la sconcertante realtà della microfisica è alla base della stessa fisica degli oggetti quotidiani in cui abitualmente ci muoviamo e persino dell'architettura delle galassie dell'universo. Ricalcado le orme del grande Carroll, Gilmore presenta una moderna Alice anch'essa sospesa tra piccolo e grande, capace di guidarci con straordinaria abilità nel paese delle meraviglie della fisica dei quanti.
