{"product_id":"macroscopic-quantum-tunneling-shin-takagi-9780521675710","title":"Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling","description":"This book contains a coherent and self-contained account of macroscopic quantum phenomena, focusing on the central role played by macroscopic quantum tunneling. Beginning with an explanation of the nature and significance of the Schringer's cat concept, Shin Takagi introduces macroscopic quantum tunneling. He deals with typical examples in detail, elucidating how quantum mechanical coherence may be lost (so-called \"decoherence\") or how it may be maintained despite the effects of environment and measurement processes. Assuming only a knowledge of elementary quantum mechanics, this book emphasizes conceptual aspects rather than technical details.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shin Takagi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521675715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521675710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.47d","brand":"Shin Takagi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44566876225791,"sku":"9780521675710","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_779c6c7c-f6ef-42df-9a0d-28ae42d90eff.jpg?v=1701374855","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/macroscopic-quantum-tunneling-shin-takagi-9780521675710","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
