Particles through the Looking Glass

Nicolas Sourlas

A quick look at the contents of this book will cause real astonishment. Giorgio Parisi has written a selection of articles on a diversity of subjects, including: the phenomenology of elementary particles; fully developed turbulence; abstract field theory; critical phenomena; spin-glass theory; algorithms for computer simulations; and computer architecture.

We can look through cloudy glass, correlate, subtract, and convolve images in real time, we can amplify coherent beams and make length insensitive resonators and also store and recall images associatively. I attempt to show how all these wonderful things can be accomplished using the tools and concepts of the field of phase conjugate optics.
