Quantum mechanics and philosophy: impossible interview to W. Heisenberg (1901-1976)

D. Bisero

The author imagines to interview the Nobel Laureate in Physics of the year 1932, who has been one of the Founding Fathers of quantum mechanics, and other distinguished colleagues. The answers of W. Heisenberg and his colleagues are based on the Nobel Lecture that Heisenberg delivered during the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony and other texts.

The Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Willis E. Lamb, Jagdish Mehra

A collection of the various papers and lectures of Professor Willis E. Lamb, (who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955 for his precise measurement of what came to be called the Lamb Shift) on the fundamental, fascinating and fashionable subject of the interpretation of quantum mechanics. Professor Lamb began to bring his insights to this subject since he first started publishing his papers in the field in 1969. In a detailed editorial annotation on the Scientific Work of Willis E. Lamb, Jr (based on extensive conversations with Professor Lamb), Jagdish Mehra, a historian of modern physics, provides a survey of Professor Lamb's diverse contributions to the various fields of fundamental physics and the context in which they were made.A collection of the various papers and lectures of Professor Willis E.

"Seeking the Light in a Cavity" in Conversation with Nobel Laureate Serge Haroche

Michael R. R. Good, Wei Liang Quek

Serge Haroche, Chair in Quantum Physics at the College de France. Professor Haroche was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize for Physics for "groundbreaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems". On 22 April 2013, the first day of the Berge Fest Conference, Professor Haroche delivered a talk on "Controlling photons in cavities". He reviewed recent experiments in Cavity QED in which his group count trapped microwave photons non-destructively and used quantum feedback methods to stabilize the photon number to a preset value. Further developments of these experiments were also discussed in his talk. The editorial team of Asia Pacific Physics Newsletter interviewed Professor Haroche during the Berge Fest Conference on 24 April 2014.
