Description for Foundations of Quantum Gravity
hardcover. Explores how quantum coherence can be consistently incorporated into Einstein's theory of gravitation, for researchers in the foundations of physics. Num Pages: 416 pages, 79 b/w illus. BIC Classification: PHDV; PHQ. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 249 x 182 x 24. Weight in Grams: 966.
Exploring how the subtleties of quantum coherence can be consistently incorporated into Einstein's theory of gravitation, this book is ideal for researchers interested in the foundations of relativity and quantum physics. The book examines those properties of coherent gravitating systems that are most closely connected to experimental observations. Examples of consistent co-gravitating quantum systems whose overall effects upon the geometry are independent of the coherence state of each constituent are provided, and the properties of the trapping regions of non-singular black objects, black holes and a dynamic de Sitter cosmology are discussed analytically, numerically and diagrammatically. The extensive use of ... Read more
