Abstract

This book provides an overview of how diverse issues of Magnetism have implications for other areas of physics. Attention will be drawn to different aspects of many-body physics, which first appeared in Magnetism but have had deep impact in different branches of physics. Each of these aspects will be illustrated schematically and in terms of physical examples, chosen from multicritical phenomena, quantum phase transition, spin glasses, relaxation, phase ordering and quantum dissipation. A unique feature of this book is a unified and coherent discussion of magnetic phenomena, presented in a luc

Introduction

Alexei M. Tsvelik

This part of the book is fully devoted to the physics of (1 + 1)-dimensional quantum or twodimensional classical models. As usual, I shall distinguish between classical and quantum systems only if it is necessary. Those models where the difference between quantum and classical is not relevant will be called ‘two-dimensional’; those where for some reason or other I want to emphasize the quantum aspect will be called ‘one-dimensional’. The reason I spend so much time discussing two-dimensional physics is that here one finds a kind of paradise for strong interactions and nonperturbative effects. Those effects which are tricky or even impossible to achieve in higher dimensions appear in almost every two-dimensional model. To our greatest satisfaction there are theoretical tools at our disposal which allow us to solve many of the corresponding problems and describe these phenomena. The availability of these strong mathematical tools is a unique feature of two-dimensional physics. Even if it turns out to be impossible to generalize these tools for higher dimensions, I hope that the reader will be rewarded for the time spent by the pleasure obtained from contemplating their beauty. The world we are about to enter has certain distinct features which are worth mentioning in the introduction. The first one concerns the second-order phase transitions. In (1 + 1)-dimensional systems such transitions may occur only at zero temperature.

An Overview of Quantum Computing's Potential to Solve Complex Problems

Syeda Kawsar -

Quantum computing is necessary to be described as a powerful tool is the new generation of computational power that works based on the principles of quantum mechanics, allowing the solving of problems that are intractable for classical computers. Due to the utilization of such phenomena as superposition, quantum entanglement and quantum interference, quantum computers are said to be able to solve problems in such areas as cryptography, artificial intelligence, optimization problems and material sciences, among others. This paper attempts to examine the basic concepts of quantum computing while focusing on their different aspects and their potential impacts. This study its experience and potential in its current form and in future applications through examples, illustrations, and theoretical discussion. Specific problems, including error correction, hardware scalability, and requirements for resources to address, make the paper a comprehensive overview of the quantum computing potential and weaknesses. Moving towards practical examples, the discussion covers all aspects of the book, providing readers with a holistic understanding of how quantum computing is going to change technological paradigms in the forthcoming decades.

A Modern Approach to Critical Phenomena

Igor F. Herbut

Critical phenomena is one of the most exciting areas of modern physics. This 2007 book provides a thorough but economic introduction into the principles and techniques of the theory of critical phenomena and the renormalization group, from the perspective of modern condensed matter physics. Assuming basic knowledge of quantum and statistical mechanics, the book discusses phase transitions in magnets, superfluids, superconductors, and gauge field theories. Particular attention is given to topics such as gauge field fluctuations in superconductors, the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, duality transformations, and quantum phase transitions - all of which are at the forefront of physics research. This book contains numerous problems of varying degrees of difficulty, with solutions. These problems provide readers with a wealth of material to test their understanding of the subject. It is ideal for graduate students and more experienced researchers in the fields of condensed matter physics, statistical physics, and many-body physics.
