LECTURES ON STATISTICAL MECHANICS - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Berthold-Georg Englert received his doctoral degree from the University of Tübingen, Germany, in 1981, his postdoctoral education at UCLA from 1981 to 1985, and his habilitation in Munich in 1990. He taught at the University of Munich, at Texas A&M University, at the Technical University of Vienna, at the University of Ulm, at the University of Milan. Since 2002, he is at the National University of Singapore. His research touched many bases in theoretical physics. He contributed to the refinement of semiclassical methods in atomic physics (monograph in 1988), to the development of algebraic methods for handling quantum-optical master equations with a particular bearing on the theory of the micromaser, to the technical formulation of the principle of complementarity, to the understanding of the quantitative aspects of wave–particle duality, to non-standard schemes for quantum cryptography and direct quantum communication, to quantum estimation, and to Bayesian methods for processing quantum data. He published Lectures on Quantum Mechanics in 2006, Lectures on Classical Electrodynamics in 2014, and Lectures on Classical Mechanics in 2015.
