Rigorous Results In Quantum Dynamics - Proceedings Of The Conference
The proceedings of the conference is devoted mainly to the mathematically rigorous approaches to the problems of quantum mechanics. The spectral properties of Schrödinger operators, including those on regions with a boundary and their generalizations, scattering theory and resonances, time-dependent Hamiltonians and quantum chaos, problems of statistical physics like spin systems, and others are discussed.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly advancing research in quantum networks, both in theory and application. While the classical internet has become essential in our daily lives, its communication techniques have limitations, such as vulnerability to interception and eavesdropping. Quantum networks, by transmitting quantum qubits, address these security concerns using the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, no-cloning, and Heisenberg uncertainty. Kimble...
