Exact Methods in Low-Dimensional Statistical Physics and Quantum Computing: Lecture Notes from the Les Houches Summer School: Volume 89, Juh 2008

摘要

Oxford University Press Hardback: £45 $85 Recent years have shown spectacular convergences between traditional techniques in theoretical physics and methods emerging from modern mathematics, such as combinatorics, topology and algebraic geometry. These techniques, and in particular those of low-dimensional statistical models, are instrumental in improving the understanding of emerging fields, such as quantum computing and cryptography, complex systems, and quantum fluids. This book sets these issues into a larger and more coherent theoretical context than is currently available, through lectures given by international leaders in the fields of exactly solvable models in low-dimensional condensed matter and statistical physics.
