Quantum phenomena are elucidated using a unique diagrammatic approach, offering an innovative way to present intricate scientific theories. This method simplifies complex concepts, making them more accessible to readers. The book bridges the gap between advanced scientific ideas and visual representation, enhancing understanding of the quantum world.
This volume provides a series of tutorials on mathematical structures which recently have gained prominence in physics, ranging from quantum foundations, via quantum information, to quantum gravity. These include the theory of monoidal categories and corresponding graphical calculi, Girard’s linear logic, Scott domains, lambda calculus and corresponding logics for typing, topos theory, and more general process structures. Most of these structures are very prominent in computer science; the chapters here are tailored towards an audience of physicists.
Aimed at children aged 5 and upwards, this title teaches aspiring artists how to draw with ease by following simple, step-by-step instructions. It helps readers bring to life a skateboarding crocodile, a funky monkey, a juggling seal, dinosaurs, flamingos, squirrels, gorillas and a whole specturm of fun- loving animals.
This Festschrift volume, published in honor of Samson Abramsky, contains contributions written by some of his colleagues, former students, and friends. In celebration of the 60th birthday of Samson Abramsky, a conference was held in Oxford, UK, during May 28-30, 2010. The papers in this volume represent his manifold contributions to semantics, logic, games, and quantum mechanics.
