{"product_id":"macroscopic-quantum-tunneling-shin-takagi-9780521800020","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 Schrödinger'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 0521800021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521800020\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 08\/15\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Shin Takagi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517328044287,"sku":"9780521800020","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d43ecb8-8a89-4539-acd8-6a75f270d2de.jpg?v=1778731379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/macroscopic-quantum-tunneling-shin-takagi-9780521800020","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
