Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Series in condensed matter physicsPublication details: Boca Raton : CRC Press, 2011.Description: xxviii, 728 p. : ill., port. ; [ca. 23-29] cmISBN:
  • 9781439802519
Subject(s): LOC classification:
  • QC175.16.P5 U53 2011
Available additional physical forms:

Contents:
1. New directions and new concepts in quantum phase transitions -- 2. Progress in model Hamiltonians and in specific systems -- 3. Experimental realizations of quantum phases and quantum phase transitions -- 4. Numerical solution methods for quantum phase transitions -- 5. Quantum phase transitions across physics.
Summary: "Exploring a steadily growing field, this book focuses on quantum phase transitions (QPT), frontier area of research. It takes a look back as well as a look forward to the future and the many open problems that remain. The book covers new concepts and directions in QPT and specific models and systems closely tied to particular experimental realization or theoretical methods. Although mainly theoretical, the book includes experimental chapters that make the discussion of QPTs meaningful. The book also presents recent advances in the numerical methods used to study QPTs"-- Provided by publisher.
