Physique théorique

The new book by Franck Laloe introduces a symmetry-based approach to understand quantum mechanics at a fundamental level and provides the associated computational techniques to master advanced …

The revised edition gives a comprehensive mathematical and physical presentation of fluid flows in non-classical models of convection – relevant in nature as well as in industry. After the concise co …

This updated revision gives a complete and topical overview on Nonconservative Stability which is essential for many areas of science and technology ranging from particles trapping in optical tweezer …

“This book contains overviews on technologically important classes of glasses, their treatment to achieve desired properties, theoretical approaches for the description of structure-property relation …

Written by one of the founding fathers of Quantum Information, this book gives an accessible (albeit mathematically rigorous), self-contained introduction to quantum information theory. The central r …

Just as the circle number π or the Euler constant e determines mathematics, fundamental constants of nature define the scales of the natural sciences. This book presents a new perspective by means of …

Polar motion is an important geophysical process, and difficult to understand given the various parameters involved. But it is of key importance to our climate and climate change. Understanding and …

The International System of Units (SI) is the world’s most widely used system of measurement, used every day in commerce and science, and is the modern form of the metric system. It currently …

Relativistic celestial mechanics – investigating the motion celestial bodies under the influence of general relativity – is a major tool of modern experimental gravitational physics. With a wide rang …

This book presents Quantum Mechanics as a theory underlying the world around us, from atoms and molecules to materials, lasers, and other applications. Its features are (a) emphasis on the key …
