  In Electrify, Saul Griffith lays out a detailed blueprint—optimistic but feasible—for fighting climate change while creating millions of new jobs and a healthier environment. Griffith's plan can be summed up simply: electrify everything. He explains exactly what it would take to transform our infrastructure, update our grid, and adapt our households to make this possible. Billionaires may contemplate escaping our worn-out planet on a private rocket ship to Mars, but the rest of us, Griffith says, will stay and fight for the future. 
   
   
    
  Griffith, an engineer and inventor, calls for grid neutrality, ensuring that households, businesses, and utilities operate as equals; we will have to rewrite regulations that were created for a fossil-fueled world, mobilize industry as we did in World War II, and offer low-interest "climate loans." Griffith's plan doesn't rely on big, not-yet-invented innovations, but on thousands of little inventions and cost reductions. We can still have our cars and our houses—but the cars will be electric and solar panels will cover our roofs. For a world trying to bounce back from a pandemic and economic crisis, there is no other project that would create as many jobs—up to twenty-five million, according to one economic analysis. Is this politically possible? We can change politics along with everything else.

  Introduction to Quantum Field...

  Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the framework that unifies quantum mechanics and special relativity, providing a theoretical foundation for describing fundamental particles and their interactions. Unlike quantum mechanics, which describes particles as wavefunctions evolving in time, QFT treats particles as excitations of underlying fields that pervade all of space. This shift in perspective is necessary to accommodate relativistic effects and to describe processes such as particle creation and annihilation, which are not possible in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. 
  The motivation for QFT arises from the limitations of single-particle quantum mechanics when applied to high-energy physics. In relativistic systems, particles can be created and destroyed in interactions, as seen in high-energy collisions and radioactive decays. Traditional quantum mechanics, which treats particles as fixed entities, cannot account for such processes. By formulating particles as field excitations, QFT allows for a consistent description of multi-particle interactions and naturally incorporates the principles of special relativity. 
  At its core, QFT extends the principles of classical field theory to quantum systems. Classical field theories, such as Maxwell’s electrodynamics, describe how physical quantities vary across space and time. In QFT, these fields are quantized, meaning that their excitations correspond to discrete particles. The simplest example is the Klein-Gordon field, which describes spin-zero particles like mesons. The quantization of this field leads to the interpretation of its solutions as particle states, obeying relativistic energy-momentum relations.

  AI—including generative AI—is radically transforming business. Are you ready? Accenture technology leaders Paul Daugherty and Jim Wilson provide crucial insights and advice to help you meet the challenge. 
   
   
   
  In this updated and expanded edition of Human + Machine—including a new chapter on gen AI—Daugherty and Wilson show that the essence of the AI paradigm shift is the transformation of all business processes within an organization, whether related to breakthrough innovation, everyday customer service, or personal productivity habits. As humans and smart machines collaborate ever more closely, work processes become more fluid and adaptive, enabling companies to change them on the fly—or completely reimagine them. 
   
   
   
  Based on the authors' experience and research with fifteen hundred organizations, the book reveals how companies are using the new rules of AI to leap ahead on innovation and profitability and what you can do to achieve similar results. It describes six entirely new types of hybrid human + machine roles that every company must develop, and it includes a "leader's guide" with the five crucial principles required to become an AI-fueled business.
