The work published by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) in 1935 is a classic in modern physics. It discusses, for the first time, the central feature of the quantum theory: entanglement. In general, systems are intertwined with each other in nature; that is, they have only one common, non-divisible state. This fact is responsible for all the oddities commonly associated with quantum theory, including the famous thought experiments with Schrödinger’s cat and Wigner’s friend. The entanglement of quantum mechanics plays a central role in experiments with atoms and photons (Nobel Prize 2012 for Haroche and Wineland) and the planned construction of quantum computers.
This book presents EPR’s original work amplified with a detailed commentary, which examines both the historical context and all aspects of entanglement. In particular, it focuses on the interpretation of quantum theory and its consequences for a basic understanding of nature.

This book presents a multidisciplinary guide to gauge theory and gravity, with chapters by the world’s leading theoretical physicists, mathematicians, historians and philosophers of science. The contributions from theoretical physics explore e.g. the consistency of the unification of gravitation and quantum theory, the underpinnings of experimental tests of gauge theory and its role in shedding light on the relationship between mathematics and physics. In turn, historians and philosophers of science assess the impact of Weyl’s view on the philosophy of science.
Graduate students, lecturers and researchers in the fields of history of science, theoretical physics and philosophy of science will benefit from this book by learning about the role played by Weyl’s Raum-Zeit-Materie in shaping several modern research fields, and by gaining insights into the future prospects of gauge theory in both theoretical and experimental physics. Furthermore, the book facilitates interdisciplinary exchange and conceptual innovation in tackling fundamental questions about our deepest theories of physics.

Quantum theory is at the foundation of the physical description of our world. One of the people who contributed significantly to our conceptual understanding of this theory was Heinz-Dieter Zeh (1932-2018). He was the pioneer of the process of decoherence, through which the classical appearance of our world can be understood. This volume presents a collection of essays dedicated to his memory, written by distinguished scientists and scholars. They cover all aspects of the interpretation of quantum theory in general and the quantum-to-classical transition in particular. This volume provides illuminating reading to anyone seeking a deep understanding of quantum theory and its relevance to the foundations of physics.

Originaltext und ausführlicher historischer Kommentar von Claus Kiefer
Die Arbeit von Einstein, Podolsky und Rosen (EPR) aus dem Jahr 1935 gehört zu den Klassikern der modernen Physik. In ihr wird zum ersten Mal die zentrale Eigenschaft der Quantentheorie thematisiert: die Verschränkung. Im allgemeinen sind Systeme in der Natur miteinander verschränkt, das heißt, sie besitzen nur einen gemeinsamen, nicht aufteilbaren, Zustand. Diese Tatsache ist für alle Merkwürdigkeiten verantwortlich, die gemeinhin mit der Quantentheorie in Verbindung gebracht werden, wozu die Gedankenexperimente mit Schrödingers Katze und Wigners Freund zählen. Die Verschränkung quantenmechanischer Systeme spielt eine zentrale Rolle bei Experimenten mit Atomen und Photonen (Nobelpreis 2012 für Haroche und Wineland) und der geplanten Konstruktion von Quantencomputern. Das Buch bringt die Originalarbeit von EPR in deutscher Übersetzung und einen ausführlichen Kommentarteil, der sowohl den historischen Kontextder Arbeit beleuchtet als auch auf alle Aspekte der Verschränkung eingeht. Es widmet sich insbesondere der Interpretation der Quantentheorie und deren Konsequenzen für ein grundlegendes Verständnis der Natur.

100 Jahre nach Einsteins Arbeit zur Relativitätstheorie ist der Beweis für die Existenz von Gravitationswellen eine Sensation. Die angesehenen Wissenschaftler Domenico Giulini und Claus Kiefer geben in diesem essential einen kompakten Überblick über dieses Phänomen der theoretischen Physik und über die indirekten und die kürzlich gelungenen direkten Nachweise von Gravitationswellen. Vorhergesagt durch die Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie, entstehen sie in hochenergetischen astrophysikalischen Prozessen und liefern wertvolle Informationen über Supernovae und die Kollision schwarzer Löcher. Ausgehend von der ersten Detektion besitzt die Menschheit mit diesen Erkenntnissen „ein neues Fenster“ ins Universum, dass die Forschung noch lange beschäftigen wird.

Decoherence, a concept known only to few physicists when the first edition appeared in 1996, has since become firmly established experimentally and understood theoretically, as well as widely reported in the literature. The major consequences of decoherence are the emergence of "classicality" in general, superselection rules, the border line between microscopic and macroscopic behavior in molecules and field theory, the emergence of classical spacetime, and the appearance of quantum jumps. The most important new developments in this rapidly evolving field are included in the second edition of this book, which has become a standard reference on the subject. All chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated. New fields of application now addressed span chaos theory, quantum information, neuroscience, primordial fluctuations in cosmology, black holes and string theory, experimental tests, and interpretational issues. While the major part of the book is concerned with environmental decoherence derived from a universal Schrödinger equation, later chapters address related or competing methods, such as consistent histories, open system dynamics, algebraic approaches, and collapse models.
