Quantum Theory is the most revolutionary discovery in physics since Newton. This book gives a lucid, exciting, and accessible account of the surprising and counterintuitive ideas that shape our understanding of the sub-atomic world. It does not disguise the problems of interpretation that still remain unsettled 75 years after the initial discoveries. The main text makes no use of equations, but there is a Mathematical Appendix for those desiring stronger fare. Uncertainty, probabilistic physics, complementarity, the problematic character of measurement, and decoherence are among the many topics discussed. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Explores the role of artificial intelligence in the development of a claim that morality is person made and rational.This book explores the role of artificial intelligence in the development of a claim that morality is person-made and rational. Professor Danielson builds moral robots that do better than amoral competitors in a tournament of games like the Prisoners Dilemma and Chicken. The book thus engages in current controversies over the adequacy of the received theory of rational choice. It sides with Gauthier and McClennan, who extend the devices of rational choice to include moral constraint. Artificial Morality goes further, by promoting communication, testing and copying of principles and by stressing empirical tests.

Quantum mechanics, the subfield of physics that describes the behavior of very small (quantum) particles, provides the basis for a new paradigm of computing. First proposed in the 1980s as a way to improve computational modeling of quantum systems, the field of quantum computing has recently garnered significant attention due to progress in building small-scale devices. However, significant technical advances will be required before a large-scale, practical quantum computer can be achieved. Quantum Computing: Progress and Prospects provides an introduction to the field, including the unique characteristics and constraints of the technology, and assesses the feasibility and implications of creating a functional quantum computer capable of addressing real-world problems. This report considers hardware and software requirements, quantum algorithms, drivers of advances in quantum computing and quantum devices, benchmarks associated with relevant use cases, the time and resources required, and how to assess the probability of success.

Part of Ramtha Fireside Series on the topic of parallel universes and creating dramatic change in our life using the principles of quantum physics. "A shift in quantum state brings a parallel lifetime, and now everything in that lifetime is different. The relationship to you and your environment is lifted, for what compelled you before is not a compelling influence in the new shift. You are now in a parallel existence. In the parallel existence our mind does not leave our body behind in the old state but rather the body can also live in parallel existences because it is made of quantum material. It is now shifted into the new hall, the new life, and everything is different. What becomes apparent is that the climax that governed your life once before is now at rest. The old climax is not apparent in the new life and its influences are not seen in people, places, things, times, and events. That is the truth. This knowledge is the key to the kingdom of heaven." - Ramtha For more information about Ramtha and his original international school of the mind and ancient wisdom, offering courses live and online around the world for the last 4 decades, visit: Ramtha.com

She drives him crazy in more ways than one. Leah Every time I see Quantum Production’s chief counsel, Emmett Burke, at work, the only thing I can think about is how much I want to lick him. Everywhere. I’ve never had that reaction to a man, and the fact that he’s a much-older colleague makes my out-of-control attraction to him far more complicated than it should be. Every day, I bring a new legal question to Emmett, hoping to catch his attention and make him see me as a grown woman who wants him desperately. I walk a fine line in trying to remain professional as the assistant to superstar Marlowe Sloane while lusting after Marlowe’s sexy attorney. Emmett She’s like a fly buzzing around my head that can’t be swatted away. She’s always there, looking at me, asking me legal questions that have nothing to do with my specialty in entertainment law and generally driving me mad with her overt sexiness and sassy mouth. I want to toss her over my desk and run the sass right out of her, which is hardly the way a professional who loves his job should behave in the office—especially with a young, fresh, sexy colleague. Hell, I drafted the rule against interoffice fraternization! Leah gets the chance to step up for Emmett, helping him through an unfortunate “accident,” showing him she’s much more than just a smart mouth and a sexy body. When she realizes she has genuine feelings for him—and that those feelings are reciprocated—she wonders if he’ll take a chance on her or continue to hold her at arm’s length. Slowly but surely, she chips away at his resistance, and he begins to crave more of her. As Leah confronts a dangerous threat from her past, Emmett is forced to acknowledge that his “annoying little fly” has worked her way firmly into his heart—and his bed. Join the entire Quantum team at the company’s vineyard in Napa for Hayden and Addie’s wedding, when things take a serious turn for Leah and Emmett.
