This book is a journey through the wonders of physics, the special thousandth volume of the renowned Lecture Notes in Physics book series. From quantum physics to solar physics, this volume showcases the beauty of physics in various fields. Written by series editors and colleagues, these essays are accessible to non-specialists and graduate-level students alike, making for an intriguing read for anyone interested in learning about physics beyond their own field of study. Explore the historical development of the series with two insightful forewords.
List of essays:
Wolfgang P. Schleich is Professor of Theoretical Physics and Director of the Institute of Quantum Physics at Ulm University, Germany. From 1980 to 1984, he did his diploma thesis and his Ph.D. under the guidance ofMarlan O. Scully at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, with an intermediate research visit (1982/83) at the Institute of Modern Optics, Albuquerque, USA. From 1984 to 1986 he worked as a postdoctoral fellow with John Archibald Wheeler at the Center for Theoretical Physics in Austin, Texas, USA, and then as a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, under Herbert Walther. In 1991, he moved to his current position at Ulm University. He is author of several books, including Quantum Optics in Phase Space and Elements of Quantum Information. His areas of research include theoretical quantum optics, physics of cold atoms and analogies to solid state physics, fundamental questions of quantum mechanics, general relativity, number theory, statistical physics and non-linear dynamics. Some of his most important scientific achievements are related to the role of quantum phase space in quantum optics, for which he has received numerous nationaland international awards, most recently the Herbert Walther Award of the German Physical Society and the Optical Society of America.
Gary P. Zank received his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Natal in South Africa in 1987. Gary is an Eminent Scholar and Distinguished Professor, Director of Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research (CSPAR), and Chair of the Department of Space Science (SPA) at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. Gary has been recognized in his field through the receipt of numerous honors and awards throughout his career. In 2017, he was named the University of Alabama Board of Trustees Trustee Professor, the first and only University of Alabama System faculty member to achieve this position. In part, this was in recognition of Dr Zank being elected in 2016 as a Member of the US National Academy of Sciences, the only person in AL to be a member of this august body. He was recognized internationally in 2015 with the AOGS Axford Medal, the highest honor given by the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS). Other awards include his being a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the American Physical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2017, he was also elected an AOGS Honorary Member and was chosen by the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) to be the 2017 Johannes Geiss Fellow. One of hispublications has been recognized as one of the twelve “classic papers” ever published in the Journal of Plasma Physics. Gary is dedicated to his research, which is clearly represented in his achievements over the years and categorizes him as a cutting-edge leader in the world of space physics.
