Description
This volume explores multiscale methods as applied to various areas of physics and to the relative developments in mathematics. In the last few years, multiscale methods have lead to spectacular progress in our understanding of complex physical systems and have stimulated the development of very refined mathematical techniques. At the same time on the experimental side, equally spectacular progress has been made in developing experimental machinery and techniques to test the foundations of quantum mechanics.
Reviews / Votes
"During recent years spectacular progress has been made in experimentally testing the foundations of quantum mechanics. This development has been complemented by significant theoretical advances in the mathematical description of complex quantum mechanical systems mainly based on so called mutiscale methods" ---Monatshefte für MathematikMore details
