Introduction

Juris Ulmanis

This chapter provides a concise introduction to Efimov physics that is easily accessible to a nonspecialist. We discuss three-body physics in ultracold quantum gases and place these ideas in a wide context touching nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics. The last part deals with similarities and differences between three-body systems that consist of identical particles (homonuclear) or particles with different masses (heteronuclear). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.This chapter provides a concise introduction to Efimov physics that is easily accessible to a nonspecialist.

Economics and Physical Science

Stephen J. DeCanio

Modern physical science has moved a considerable distance from the deterministic materialism of the nineteenth century. Even then, the inclusion of fields (gravitational, magnetic, and electric) complemented the massy, solid atoms in making up the world-picture of physics. But in the twentieth century, science replaced the earlier ontology entirely. Quantum mechanics, the crowning achievement of modern physics, has re-opened ages-old questions about the nature of reality, causation, and the connection between consciousness and the external world. The fundamental ground of modern physics is at the epistemological level — what we can know about physical systems is basic, rather than an onto-logical account of the world as it ‘really is.’ These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.Modern physical science has moved a considerable distance from the deterministic materialism of the nineteenth century.

Four myths about quantum computing

The lightness of being

Joel N. Shurkin

The revolution of physics that Bill Shockley watched at Caltech not only undermined Newton’s orderly, rational and predictable universe, but stemmed from one of the most intriguing and beautiful arguments in physics: What is light? Is it a wave of something or a stream of particles? These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
