Quantum Attention Function Theory
Amit Ray - 2020
The book explains the birth of quanta. It introduced the concepts of 'rayons' - a world below the Planck constant. It explains the birth of time, energy, space, quanta and the Universe. The book also provides a general framework for quantifying notions of nonclassicality. The book shows how quantum attention function explains the computation of all quantum and relativistic physical interactions. It describes the relativistic quantum mechanics and non-relativistic quantum mechanics in much deeper sense.Quantum Attention Function has two components: non-physical component and the physical component. The non-physical part is active inside the Schrödinger's cat box and the physical component is active just outside the box. The birth of time and quanta and their relationships are explained with a solid scientific foundation.
The Quantum Cookbook: Mathematical Recipes of the Foundations for Quantum Mechanics
Jim Baggott - 2020
But it is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; lots of seemingly spooky goings-on; and a desperate desire to lie down quietly in a darkened room. The Quantum Cookbook explains why this is. It provides a unique bridge between popular exposition and formal textbook presentation, written for curious readers with some background in physics and sufficient mathematical capability. It aims not to teach readers how to do quantum mechanics but rather helps them to understand how to think about quantum mechanics. Each derivation is presented as a 'recipe' with listed ingredients, including standard results from the mathematician's toolkit, set out in a series of easy-to-follow steps. The recipes have been written sympathetically, for readers who - like the author - will often struggle to follow the logic of a derivation which misses out steps that are 'obvious', or which use techniques that readers are assumed to know.
