Mahler, Gunter

Publication details: Singapore : Pan Stanford Publishing, c2015.Description: xiv, 469 p. : illustrations (some colored) ; 24 cmISBN:

9789814463737

Subject(s):

DDC classification:

530.12 23 M214

Contents:

1. Introduction -- 2. Information -- 3. Quantum physics -- 4. Thermodynamics -- 5. Quantum thermodynamics -- 6. Finite processes -- 7. Control cycles -- 8. Continuous operations -- 9. Outlook -- Bibliography -- Index.

Summary: This book is a triad of themes: information theory, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. These are related: thermodynamics and quantum mechanics form the basis of quantum thermodynamics; information and quantum mechanics underly, inter alia, the notorious quantum measurement problem; and information and thermodynamics have much to say about control limits in the tension between micro- and macro-descriptions.
