Open Quantum Physics and Environmental Heat Conversion into Usable Energy: Volume 2

Eliade Stefanescu

Summary

A Quantum system can be viewed as a larger closed system comprising of two components: an open quantum system and its surrounding environment. These two components interact with each other, and in the realm of theoretical physics, this interaction cannot be neglected. This eBook explains mathematical and statistical concepts essential for describing a realistic quantum system by presenting recent contributions in this field. The book commences by explaining the basics of quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and physics of open quantum systems. Detailed methods of deriving theoretical equations with explicit analytical coefficients with respect to open quantum systems are also explained. The book concludes with the study of a quantum heat converter in the framework of an all-microscopic theory involving fermions, photons, and phonons.Readers of this book will gain a better understanding on the following topics:· Quantum mechanics including the Boson and Fermion states, Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics, spin-statistics relation, many-body systems of Bosons and Fermions, the Fermi-Dirac integrals of the Fermion state densities, and transport phenomena in semiconductors.· Dissipative dynamics and quantum systems such as friction, diffusion, friction-diffusion relation, mobility, occupation probability dynamics, damping, spectral width, correlation and autocorrelation, memory, stability, bifurcation, self-organization, and chaos.· Lindblad’s theory of open quantum systems through the work of Alicki and Lendi.· Quantum tunneling as an interaction with a system.· Optical bistability, including the fundamental contributions of Carmichael, McCall, and Bonifacio.· Master equations based on the microscopic theory of Ford, Lewis, and O’Connell.· Field propagation in a semiconductor structure.· Coherent light propagation in the framework of a microscopic model including the refractive index and the Raman frequency shift.· Heat conversion in the framework of an all-microscopic model of open quantum systems.· Entropy dynamics in a matter field system.

A pandemic is overtaking kids today - but it’s not Covid. It’s the glowing screens they carry everywhere. In Glow Kids (2016), addiction expert Nicholas Kardaras explores how technology, especially interactive media such as video games, affects human development. Glowing screens can change the structure and composition of the brain by offering high amounts of satisfaction for long periods of time. These overstimulated states particularly impact children, whose brains are not yet fully formed, and can lead to serious psychological, physical, and behavioral repercussions. But there is a cure for this pandemic, and Kardaras offers tips for parents and other concerned adults on how to mitigate its effects.

How to Fix the Future

Andrew Keen

From data breaches to disinformation, a look at the digital revolution’s collateral damage with “practical solutions to a wide-range of tech-related woes” (TechCrunch). In this book, a Silicon Valley veteran travels around the world and interviews important decision-makers to paint a picture of how tech has changed our lives—for better and for worse—and what steps we might take, as societies and individuals, to make the future something we can once again look forward to. “A truly important book and the most significant work so far in an emerging body of literature in which technology’s smartest thinkers are raising alarm bells about the state of the Internet, and laying groundwork for how to fix it.”?Fortune “After years of giddiness about the wonders of technology, a new realization is dawning: the future is broken. Andrew Keen was among the first and most insightful to see it. The combination of the digital revolution, global hyperconnectivity, and economic dysfunction has led to a populist backlash and destruction of civil discourse. In this bracing book, Keen offers tools for righting our societies and principles to guide us in the future.”?Walter Isaacson, New York Times-bestselling author of Steve Jobs and Leonardo Da Vinci “Comparing our current situation to the Industrial Revolution, he stresses the importance of keeping humanity at the center of technology.”?Booklist “Valuable insights on preserving our humanity in a digital world.”?Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
