Göran Johansson - Böcker

This book reveals glimpses of how the quantum physics of atoms and molecules influences, and even controls, the way our cells function and how we and our fellow animals interact with our environment. Simply put, how birds fly and why grass grows.Certainly, biochemistry and molecular biology are the foundations for the biology of living cells, but there is more—quantum coherence and entanglement influencing the functioning of proteins and enzymes, and strictly speaking, without the quantum phenomena we wouldn’t even be here.In the end, however, this book is based on the solid ground of science, presenting the many fascinating phenomena of how quantum physics makes life possible without any unwarranted mystification.

This book presents the basics and applications of superconducting devices in quantum optics. Over the past decade, superconducting devices have risen to prominence in the arena of quantum optics and quantum information processing. Superconducting detectors provide unparalleled performance for the detection of infrared photons in quantum cryptography, enable fundamental advances in quantum optics, and provide a direct route to on-chip optical quantum information processing. Superconducting circuits based on Josephson junctions provide a blueprint for scalable quantum information processing as well as opening up a new regime for quantum optics at microwave wavelengths.  The new field of quantum acoustics allows the state of a superconducting qubit to be transmitted as a phonon excitation.  This volume, edited by two leading researchers, provides a timely compilation of contributions from top groups worldwide across this dynamic field, anticipating future advances in this domain.

Tillbaka till New York En annorlunda guidebok för dig som vill uppleva mer än de uppenbara attraktionerna. Boken ger en introduktion till stadens historia, alltsedan den holländska kolonisationen och fram till idag. Bokens kärna är sju väldigt olika, väl guidade promenader, där du får kontakt med historia, kultur och arkitektur. Därtill serveras en rad tips på diverse saker att göra och ta del av. Statyn framför Flatiron Building är gjord av ca 5000 spikar och är 3,5 m hög. För dig som sett de stora sevärdheterna och är intresserad av mer än det uppenbara. Göran Johansson 2014
